Appointments

diary_appointmentPlease note that Loughview operate a telephone triage system, with a limited selection of pre-bookable telephone appointments.  Please phone the surgery at 8.30am, where a receptionist will check your contact details and take brief details of what your call is about.  A doctor will then phone you and will either advise you over the phone or ask you to attend in person.

Other options you may consider:

A&E Department

Open 9.00-5.00 Monday to Friday. Please note that patients must phone ahead before attending. Conditions MIU will not treat are:-

  • Head Injuries
  • Neck pain
  • Chest pain
  • Abdominal Pain

MIU will not treat children under 5 years old.

Community Pharmacy

There is also a Minor Ailments Service available at local chemists that deal with a range of self-limiting conditions. Please check with your local pharmacy for further details.

Optometrist/Optician

Optometrists are highly skilled in eye care and have specialist equipment which allows them to give you a much more detailed eye examination than you would get in a GP practice.  If you have a sudden onset acute eye condition (eg. loss of vision, flashes and floaters, foreign body), your optometrist will be able to help.

Dentist

If you are having trouble with your mouth, please book in with your dentist.  Dentists are highly trained, have specialised equipment and are licensed to prescribe medication if needed.

Training Practice

The practice gained the status of a training practice in 1994 and continues to train GP Registrars and Medical Students from QUB on a regular basis. You may be asked for permission for a Registrar to be present at your consultation but you can of course decline.
