services also available at Antrim Area Hospital and Mid Ulster Hospital,
Magherafelt.The service is delivered 6.00pm to 8am Monday to Friday, all
weekends and Public Holidays.Dalriada Urgent Care is available to
provide services when we are closed.
Dalriada urgent
care does not replace normal GP services but to deal with urgent
problems that cannot wait until the medical centre is open.
If you need to
contact Dalriada Urgent Care you should do so by telephoning 0870
532 9024. An operator will take your call. At very busy times your call
may be placed in a queue. The operator will take details of your call
and pass these to an appropriate clinician who will contact you. The
doctor/nurse will then be able to decide if advice is required or indeed
if you need to visit one of the centres, or if one of the doctors needs
to make a visit to your home.
Please remember
that home visits are for those who are too ill to travel to the centre
and that inappropriate calls may deprive someone in more need of the
service. |
