Important update 17th May 2021:

Due to the HSE cyberattack, We at Clew Bay Family Practice are experiencing delays and disruptions to normal service.

❌ Mayo University Hospital is currently unable to process any non urgent blood tests or other samples. All non urgent blood tests are cancelled until further notice.

❌ Any other services that we complete online are also severely affected eg online referrals, social welfare certs.

❌ Those who are concerned about possible COVID symptoms, or seeking a covid test can contact us in the usual way. A referral is currently not needed to attend the covid testing centre at McHale park, and they are operating a walk in service there.

❌ Patients querying hospital appointments should check HSE.ie for latest information – See https://www2.hse.ie/services/hospital-service-disruptions/hse-it-system-cyber-attack.html

❌ We have been advised that Maternity appointments are continuing as usual at the hospital.

We thank you for your patience and understanding at this time. We will update you with further information when we can.

Fantastic morning vaccinating our over 85s against covid! It was a privilege and honour to provide this service as one of the first GP practices in the country to receive vaccines. Everyone done and out of stock by lunch time!
We will be moving down through the age groups every other week. There is no need to ring the surgery to book in, as we will be making contact with all eligible patients as soon as the vaccine delivery dates are available.
Hope springs eternal!
