New arrangements for appointments at Ballyclare GP clinic

A development aimed at improving appointments access for patients at a local health centre is set to come into effect on Monday, June 19.

The move by staff at Ballyclare Group Practice will allow patients who need to be seen by their doctor being able to get a face-to-face appointment that same day.

Detailing the changes, a spokesperson for the practice said: “From June 19, patients will no longer book appointments ahead, weeks in advance, but instead will be able to speak to their GP on the day and, if necessary, get a face-to-face appointment that same day.
