When We Are Closedclosed_sign

Out-of-hours cover is provided by Dalriada Urgent Care. Telephone 028 2566 3500.

This service is for emergencies and runs from a centre in Coleraine. To use the system, phone, leaving details with the operator. A doctor or nurse will phone you back and advise appropriately.

Please remember these doctors do not have access to your medical records and are not in a position to sort out long stanging problems.

Out-of-hours services are generally busy so please think carefully before asking to see a doctor and only do so if you genuinely cannot wait until the surgery re-opens.

In a genuine emergency you should call 999. Chest pains and / or shortness of breath constitute an emergency.
