Southdoc update.
Dr Shahid will be working this evening 15/10/2021 in Castletownbere from 18.00 until 18.00 on Sunday evening.
After that patients will have to attend the Bantry treatment center.
Not ideal but at least we have some cover.

29/09/2021

Dear all,

It was with great disappointment that I read in the Southern Star that my patients will have no local cover until 26th October. Since I became aware of this issue, I have advised Southdoc to contact me should any of my patients be unable to travel to the center in Bantry. While the majority will still have to travel, I wont leave anyone in trouble.

This is obviously a very difficult situation for all involved, but I have since been reassured that every effort is being made to attract a locum doctor to this area. Unfortunately one cannot produce a highly qualified physician out of a hat, and working in a city has a much less onerous workload.This ongoing dependence on foreign locums to run the after hours services is problematic at best and clearly unsustainable.

While communication to me on this issue has been VERY poor, I will update you all when I have more information.

Sincerely

Dr Jacqui Glisson

COVID-19 VACCINATION UPDATE FOR 12 - 15 YEAR OLDS In the next coming weeks we are happy to announce we are continuing with the vaccination programme for 12 - 15 year olds. If you or your child would...

On the 24th May 2021, the HSE announced that GP's can now start vaccination of their patients according to age cohort.
We would like to thank all our patients for their patience and understanding as we worked hard to vaccinate and protect vaccine stores for those most vulnerable members of our community.

Now that job is done, we can start with a clear conscience to offer vaccines to the rest of our community. This new step in the vaccination process will commence in June with the over 45 year olds. This is in line with national guidelines.
If you would like to avail of Covid vaccination within the practice, please go to https://www.drjglisson.com/ and complete the opt in form.
Once we have an idea of numbers we will contact you with an appointment.
If you are under 45 please let us know if you would like to avail of the vaccine with us, so we can plan accordingly.

Alternatively feel free to phone the surgery and we will assist you.
At the moment it looks like we will be getting the Pfizer vaccine.

N.B. we will only be starting this mid June when we get vaccine supplies.
Thank you for your patience and understanding.
