Dr McDonald GP Newry UK: Your Health, Our Priority

Dr McDonald GP Newry UK offers accessible, high-quality healthcare services in a supportive environment. We focus on efficient systems, timely access, and personalised care. Our practice aims to ensure that every patient feels valued and heard.

Appointments and Triage with Dr McDonald GP Newry UK

We use a structured telephone triage system. This allows us to prioritise care efficiently and allocate face-to-face GP appointments when necessary. You will speak to a clinician first, who will assess your needs and book an in-person consultation if required.

Our hours are as follows:

• 08:00 – 08:30: Medical emergencies only

• 08:30 – 17:00: Routine access (excluding 13:00 – 14:00 for lunch — emergencies only)

• Wednesdays from 13:00: Emergencies only

This system improves response times and ensures urgent issues receive attention promptly. Furthermore, we continually assess our triage approach to improve your experience.

Ordering Repeat Prescriptions

At Dr McDonald GP Newry UK, repeat prescriptions are easy to request. Call during designated hours or register for online ordering through reception.

• Monday to Friday, 09:30 – 11:30

Requests made in the morning are processed the same day and usually ready at your pharmacy by 16:30. In addition, we encourage online ordering to save time and reduce call volume. Therefore, we recommend registration for patients who use regular medications.

Medical Certificates and Self-Certification

You can self-certify for the first seven calendar days if you’re off work due to illness. From day eight onward, you need a GP-issued medical note.

Self-certification forms can be printed or submitted online. Moreover, our team is available to help you navigate the process. Hence, your documentation will be accurate and accepted by your employer or HMRC.
