We are pleased to introduce our new GP Referral Emergency Department, designed to streamline urgent care for patients referred directly by their GP. This service offers quicker access to hospital-level care for conditions that require attention but are not life-threatening.

Opening Hours:

  • Open Mon to Fri, 8am - last appointment 4.45pm & Sat, 8am - last appointment 2.30pm
  • Closed Sunday & Bank Holidays
  • Strictly Over 16’s


Charges:

An initial fee of €250 is payable upon registration. Additional costs will apply for certain tests, treatments, or items such as X-rays, cardiology tests or blood tests; however, these charges will not exceed a maximum of €695.

** Please note that other diagnostics (e.g., CT or MRI) may incur separate charges unless they are covered directly by your insurance provider.

** Additional charges may also apply for less common tests or consultations with other specialists, such as Consultants or Physiotherapists.

Our Emergency Department administrative team will advise you of charges falling outside the maximum of €695.
