Dear Patients,

Dr Charlotte Coyle is no longer working with us in the practice.

Dr Charlotte has been a valued member of our medical team for the last few years and has looked after many of our patients over those years.  We are fully aware of the impact this will have on her patients and we would like to reassure Dr Charlotte’s patients that all aspects of your medical care will continue to be looked after within the practice.

We would like to wish Dr Charlotte all the very best in her future career.

Should you have any queries please do not hesitate to contact us.

It is the responsibility of the patient to ensure they have received their results

Please note that some routine blood tests taken in this surgery may take up to 14 working days to be processed. All our blood tests are outsourced by Connolly hospital to an external lab.

Your GP may make contact with you by text when ALL your blood results are back or you may be directed to our dedicated results phone in service which is managed by our Practice Nurse, Denise. 

This service is operational from Tuesday to Friday mornings from 12pm to 1pm and the number to call is 086 2047305

If you are awaiting test results for a recent blood test or imaging procedure ordered by your GP please ensure you contact the surgery to follow up with us.

Individual hospitals/clinics all have different wait times for results to be processed and it is the responsibility of the patient to ensure we/they have received their results.

Please ensure you are aware of the process of getting your results before leaving the surgery today.

The surgery will be closed from 3.30 pm on Friday 02/02/2024 and will reopen Tuesday 06/02/2024 due to the bank holiday.
