Dr M McCloskey GP Belfast provides patient-centred care in a professional, friendly, and efficient environment. Our dedicated team offers a wide range of services designed to meet your healthcare needs. Moreover, we strive to maintain the highest standards of clinical care, ensuring your wellbeing is our top priority.
Our clinic offers confidential and comprehensive family planning advice. Whether you are starting a family or want to explore contraception options, we can help. Additionally, out-of-hours contraception services are available through the Out-of-Hours Centre at 02890 796220. For this reason, we ensure that support is always within reach—even beyond regular working hours.
We offer seasonal influenza vaccinations at designated Flu Clinics during the winter months. Furthermore, those travelling abroad can receive travel health advice, including recommended vaccinations. Normally, six weeks' notice is needed to complete full immunisation protocols. In addition, our team at reception can guide you through the necessary steps. A small fee may apply for certain travel-related vaccines.
Effective management of chronic conditions is essential. Patients with asthma, diabetes, or heart disease should attend regular check-ups. Consequently, our nurses provide monitoring and personalised management plans tailored to your needs. Furthermore, early intervention helps reduce complications and enhances long-term health outcomes.
We believe in a proactive approach to overall wellness. Our team offers guidance on various health matters including high blood pressure, cholesterol control, smoking cessation, alcohol reduction, and weight management. Likewise, we encourage patients to take active steps toward healthier lifestyles. For this reason, we support every step of your health journey.
Many minor surgical procedures are available at our surgery. These include wart removal, therapeutic injections, and other treatments. Our doctors and nurses perform these procedures under strict clinical standards. Moreover, scheduling is simple—just contact our nurse for an appointment.
Our practice nurse handles a variety of minor injuries such as lacerations, burns, scalds, and small dislocations. Additionally, we can remove foreign bodies from the eyes or skin. In contrast to hospital delays, we offer timely treatment and stabilisation before hospital referral if needed.
