Welcome to Dunluce Family Practice
With patients' needs at the heart of everything we do, our website has been designed to make it easy for you to gain instant access to the information you need.
As well as specific practice details such as opening hours and how to register, you’ll find a wealth of useful pages covering a wide range of health issues along with links to other relevant medical organisations.
Arranging a doctor's appointment
Please note you can arrange face to face appointments or telephone consultations on the same day or up to one week in advance. You can book appointments at any time during working hours either by phone (028 90204218) or by coming in to reception.
Appointment slots are for 10 minutes and you can also request a telephone appointment instead of face to face. We would ask you to let us know as soon as possible if you cannot attend a booked appointment as this will allow us to offer the slot to another patient.
Please give the receptionist as much detail as you can when booking your appointment as this often can help the doctor prepare for your consultation. Be assured that our receptionists are under the same obligations of maintaining patient confidentiality and are fully trained in this.
Physiotherapy Self Referral
Self-referral is available for adults over 16 who need support and advice to manage symptoms related to muscle strains/joint sprains/back and neck pain. This referral option is not available if you require a home-based appointment or if you have neurological / respiratory / continence conditions. If you have a pregnancy-related pain please ask your GP/Midwife to direct you to the appropriate service. Click on the link below:
