As many patients are aware Aghalee Surgery, as with most of general practice, is under severe pressure.

To aid triage our receptionists will ask you about your problem to ensure the most unwell are prioritised. Please ring early in the day to aid triage.

Due to pressures we may only be able to deal with urgent clinical problems after 10am.

We appreciate your patience during winter, when pressures are expected to be at their worst.

The "Pharmacy First" scheme can be used for most sore throats, colds and flu-like illnesses. Information leaflets are available in the surgery, via the attached links and community pharmacies.
