Welcome to Family Care Practice

Family Care aims to provide a quality primary health care service to individuals, families and groups of people who live or work within the broad catchment area of the practice. While making direct interventions to ensure the physical and psychological health of our patients, we also aim to empower them to make educated and informed decisions regarding their own health. We do this by providing a consultation style that places a premium on the need for clear communication. We embrace a holistic approach to patient care.

We aim to provide a service that is equitable, that caters for public and private patients alike while being conscious of groups with needs within our population. We strive to operate a cost-efficient system of health care delivery, both in terms of charges to patients and the use of public and private resources. We will continue to participate in ongoing medical education through The Irish College of General Practitioners and other professional groups. We support and will participate in the education and training, in the community, of undergraduate student doctors and nurses and postgraduate general practitioners. We will continue to work with public and private health care providers, voluntary and professional organisations and community groups for the general improvement of health care services.

If you need a longer appointment (complex problems/new patients/multiple issues/ mental health issues etc) please mention that when making your booking. Consultations which run significantly over the allotted time will incur the additional charges of an extended consultation. The last consultation time is 4.50pm.

Patients are advised to ring Westdoc 1850 365 000 for medical problems arising between 6pm – 8am Monday-Friday and from 6pm Friday – 8am Monday at the weekend. On bank holidays, this service is also available until 8am the following working day.
