Our Doctors and Nurses provide NHS clinics and services to almost 3000 registered patients. We also provide a range of private clinics and services available to registered patients and the general public. We are a teaching practice linked to Queen's University Belfast School of Medicine and the Physician Associate Studies Programme at the University of Ulster.

For private services including appointments, medicals, Driver Medicals NI and Bangor Travel Clinic there is no need to register - call 028 91 455 000 to make an appointment.

Routine doctors' appointments can be booked up to 4 weeks in advance.
The reason routine appointments are not available to book further in advance is that more people do not attend (DNA) when we allow booking further in advance and this deprives other patients of appointments.
Appointments to see the practice nurse or healthcare assistant are pre-bookable up to 4 weeks in advance.
Please remember that each consultation appointment is for one patient only and for ten minutes.
Our doctors would love to spend longer in consultations with each patient but unfortunately the level of demand for appointments and the number of people wanting to speak to and see our doctors daily means they need to see a patient every ten minutes to avoid long waits for appointments.

Please help us by ensuring any specimens you are requested to provide are given in the correct container and are labelled.
Failure to do so will mean the laboratory cannot process your specimen.
Specimens must be brought in before 11.30 due to lab collection times.
The doctors review all test results and record a message for the patient.
Unfortunately, due to the volume of test results the doctors and admin staff cannot phone every patient with their results.
If you wish to find out your results, please call the practice.

We receive lots of flyers, posters and information at the Practice but there just isn't space to display it all so we have decided to create this virtual noticeboard which also means our patients can access this information without having to come to the Practice.
We have also tried to sort the information alphabetically to help you find what you need.
The Dementia Navigator service offers support for people with a new diagnosis of dementia, people with an existing diagnosis of dementia and, relatives and cares of people living with dementia.

You can book appointments, order repeat prescriptions and change your contact information online or on your mobile phone.
The registration is simple - but for security we will need you to come into the Surgery with some proof of ID before we give you a PIN and access ID.
Acceptable ID is a photo driving licence or a passport.
Online access to appointment booking is not only convenient for you as a patient, but also allows our reception staff to focus on other key areas and provide a better service to patients.
