General practice in Naas

A general practice appointment is the starting point for almost everything else. It is where a symptom gets examined properly, where a referral begins, and where ongoing problems are picked up early.

What this covers at our Naas clinic

General practice consultations at the clinic cover the broad range of everyday medical need. If something falls outside what can be dealt with in primary care, the GP will arrange the appropriate referral.

• Assessment of new symptoms, illness and infections
• Physical examinations and clinical assessment
• Blood tests, swabs and other investigations arranged through the practice
• Interpretation and follow-up of results with your GP
• Referral to hospital consultants and other specialist services
• Medical certificates for work, school and social welfare
• Medical reports and letters where the practice can provide them
• Review of repeat medication and prescription queries
• Follow-up after a hospital admission or emergency department visit

What to expect

1. Booking

   Appointments are arranged by phone on 045 850060 during opening hours. Reception will ask roughly what the appointment is for so they can allow the right amount of time — a brief category is enough.

2. The consultation

   Your GP will ask about the problem, examine you where relevant, and explain what they think is going on. If tests are needed, these are arranged at the appointment.

3. Results and follow-up

   Results are reviewed by a GP before you are contacted. The practice will let you know how and when to expect them.

4. Next steps

   That may be treatment, a prescription, a review appointment, or a referral. You will be told clearly which applies and what happens next.

Who this is for

General practice appointments suit most non-emergency medical need for patients registered with the practice.

• Adults and children registered at the practice
• Medical card and GP visit card holders under the GMS scheme
• Private patients welcome
• Patients transferring from another GP practice in Kildare
• Anyone needing a certificate, letter or referral

Registering as a new patient

The practice is currently accepting new patients across Naas, Sallins, Newbridge, Clane and the surrounding area. Registration can be completed by phone or in person at the clinic. If you are moving from another practice, tell reception which one — with your consent the practice will request your records so your history transfers with you. Medical card and GP visit card holders have their GMS registration updated at the same time.

Millennium Park sits on the western side of Naas, a short drive from the town centre and close to the M7, with parking on site.
