Existing Patients

Please ensure to notify us if you move or change any of your personal details (e.g. address, surname, phone number) so that your records can be updated.   Failure to do so could result in delays or prevent us from contacting you or a relative in an emergency.

Guidelines & Expectations

Keeping Details Updated

If you move, change your phone number, or change your surname, please let us know immediately so we can reach you quickly in an emergency.

Choosing Your Surgery

To keep your medical history consistent, patients can only register with one of our practices either Clontarf Family Practice or Fairview Medical Centre, rather than moving between the two. 

Honesty & Care

Great healthcare relies on trust. We ask that all registration forms are completely accurate. Providing incomplete information can impact the doctor-patient relationship and may result in a registration being cancelled.

Choice of Doctor

As Practice doctors work together, we cannot guarantee doctor of choice, however, we recommend patients request follow up appointment with the same doctor.  

Our Front Desk Team

Our receptionists work incredibly hard to follow the guidelines set out by our medical management. Thank you for treating them with kindness and respect—they are unable to make individual exceptions to our rules.
