The GP out of hours service is for people who need urgent medical treatment but cannot wait until their doctor's practice opens.
Unfortunately the service is still receiving calls from patients with non-urgent illness and conditions.
Ask your pharmacist for treatment advice.

@theJeremyVine pharmacists are also highly trained professionals- we’ve been there throughout the last 2 years & never closed our doors. We can counter prescribe & provide treatment for some ailments free of charge here in N. Ireland - freeing up GP appointments.
The Herbert Protocol is a new pilot initiative which will help us recover people who have dementia if they are reported missing.

New report "Community Pharmacy Services in Northern Ireland 2020 and Beyond: Strengths and Pressures highlights the value and contribution of community pharmacy
To date, Gordons Chemists have administered over 7,000 1st COVID-19 vaccinations. This is a great achievement, and is testament to the hard work of our branch & head office teams - providing what has proved to be a very intense and complex undertaking.
Great to have the new leader of the UUP @BeattieDoug at Gordon's Pharmacy Portadown today and for his recognition of the on-going, accessible & important care provided by @LMcCau & all other community pharmacists across NI in supporting patients and the HS @RobinSwannMoH
Please don't contact our Pharmacy Teams by telephone to ask about getting the Covid-19 Vaccine.
We know that the Health & Social Care NI website is advising this. Please note that this is an error, and we're asking you to use our online booking system:

Started providing the Community Pharmacy Flu Vaccination service for Health & Social Care Workers today. Many commented on what a great idea of using the community pharmacy network to increase accessibility, so handy.......was busy with a wide range of HSCWs.
