How to Register
Permanent patients
Coole Surgery can accept new patients, including Medical Card and DVC Card holders within its catchment area. If you would like to register as a permanent patent please contact us. You will first be offered an appoinrment with a Practice nurse for a New Patient Check (takes 30 minutes). This is a chance for you to have a health check. Following this you wil meet with a doctor to assess your health needs.
Please bring all of your current medication to your doctors appointment so this can be entered onto your medical records for repeat prescriptions.
You will be registered with a specified doctor but you have the choice of seeing any doctor in the practice.
