Hillsborough Medical Centre Services

Standard appointments are scheduled for 15 minute intervals. It is usually only possible to deal with one problem in that time.

If you think you will need more time please book a longer appointment, which will incur an extra fee. We make every effort to run to time but on occasion unexpected emergencies or a consultation running over time will cause delays.

If you are acutely unwell please ring the receptionist and ask to speak to the nurse who will make arrangements. We reserve a small number of same day appointments for patients who become unwell on the day.

You need to allow up to 36 hours for repeat prescription requests.

We are happy to provide repeat prescriptions for certain stable ongoing conditions. You will be required to see your Doctor for a review at regular intervals to ensure your conditions are monitored properly to improve your health. Please provide the name of your preferred pharmacy.

We endeavour to contact you with any abnormal results via text or phone, and to arrange follow-up and action if needed. Normal results are not routinely notified but can be viewed on your Manage my Health portal.
