Welcome to Montalto Medical Centre

Dear Patients,

Zero Tolerance 

We are a zero tolerance practice.  GP’s and their staff have a right to care for others without fear of being attacked or abused.

 In most cases, patients and their relatives are respectful towards surgery staff but unfortunately a minority of people are abusive or use threatening behaviour.

 The surgery will request removal of any patient from the practice list who demonstrates any of the following behaviour towards our staff;

• Using offensive language or swearing at staff

• Verbally abusing or insulting staff

• Using loud and intrusive behaviour

• Any physical violence towards any member of the practice team

• Threating/intimidation of staff or other patients

• Persistent or unrealistic demands that cause stress to staff - requests will be met where possible and explanations given when they cannot

• Posting abusive or potentially defamatory comments on social media.

 We ask that you treat all our surgery staff courteously and with respect

Flu Vaccination

If you still require your Flu vaccination, please contact the surgery for an appointment.

Prescriptions

Repeat Prescription Requests

Repeat prescription requests will take 48 hours (2 working days) to process. 

While ordering repeat prescription requests, patients must give name, address, DOB, name and strength of medication required and chemist of your choice. Only one patient's order per voicemail, if ordering for numerous people please leave a separate voicemail for each patient.

Due to data protection and patients own safety, community pharmacies can no longer request medication on a patients behalf, nor can the practice post individual prescriptions to patients. This has to be ordered by either the patient, their family or patients representative.

Patients can allocate a chemist in Ballynahinch or arrange to collect prescriptions in the surgery.

You can order using either:

      Repeat Prescription Line on 02897565999 (operational during office hours)

      Box at the front lobby in the Surgery
