Doctors

Ashley Medical Centre in order to provide appropriate cover employs Locum Doctors throughout the year. These Locum Doctors are registered with Health & Social Services Board and Ashley Medical Centre ensures that they comply with Health Board regulations. All Doctors have access to Patients complete medical records. They are therefore able to diagnosis, treat and review new or ongoing medical conditions. Patients should therefore feel confident in booking appointments with locums when our own GPs are unavailable. All doctors within Ashley Medical Centre are responsible for your care, Patients are no longer registered with individual Doctor – only the Practice. You may request an appointment with a specific Doctor however this could mean you might wait longer for an appointment
