What counts

When to call urgently

    Call us

    Severe, persistent pain

Out of hours

Outside our opening hours (Mon–Fri, 09:00 – 17:30), please attend your nearest hospital Emergency Department if symptoms are severe — University Hospital Galway is the closest 24-hour service.

Before you call

It helps if you can let us know:

  • Where the pain is and roughly when it started.
  • Whether there is any visible swelling or bleeding.
  • Whether you are an existing patient of the practice.
