Register as New Patient

The Practice covers an area which is a semicircle west of a line drawn from the University of Ulster to Lisburn (map available at reception).

To register as a patient you must go to our Dunville site, you must show photographic ID and proof of address. 

Patients over 75 years who have not seen a GP for 3 years should be offered an assessment & health check.

All new patient registration initial appointments are made for Dunville Health Centre.

Temporary Residents

If you are ill while away from home or if you are not registered with a doctor but need to see one you can receive emergency treatment from the local GP practice for 14 days. After 14 days you will need to register as a temporary or permanent patient.

You can be registered as a temporary patient for up to three months. This will allow you to be on the local practice list and still remain a patient of your permanent GP. After three months you will have to re-register as a temporary patient or permanently register with that practice.

To register as a temporary patient simply contact the local practice you wish to use. Practices do not have to accept you as a temporary patient although they do have an obligation to offer emergency treatment. You cannot register as a temporary patient at a practice in the town or area where you are already register in.
