More healthcare options for Carlow as new walk-in clinic officially opens in town
The walk-in medical centre is located at Exchequer House, Potato Market, Carlow.
People living in Carlow now have another option for healthcare as the new Doctor365 clinic in the town has officially been opened.
The walk-in medical centre is located at Exchequer House, Potato Market, Carlow.
It was officially opened by Cathaoirleach Ken Murnane and Mayor Paul Doogue, according to a Facebook post in the group 'All About Carlow.'
"We are very grateful for this welcome that the Carlow community is giving us," Dr Mohammed Omar said.
The benefit of a Doctor365 clinic is that patients do not have to wait for an appointment and can "pop in when they need to see a doctor."
It works by patients arriving and filling out a new registration form.
The receptionist will then organise for a doctor to see the patient, with a standard consultation costing €50.
Doctor365 is a private service that is not linked to the HSE, meaning GP visit and medical cards are not accepted.
The Carlow clinic will be open seven days a week for walk-in consultations between 10am and 7pm and for phone/video consultations between 10am and 10pm.
Medical professionals at the clinic can provide prescriptions for medication, conduct screenings, and offer preventive healthcare, among other things.
