**Important Update***

Dear Patients,

We hope this message finds you well. Unfortunately, our practice was struck by lightning last night, which has temporarily affected our computer systems. As a result, we are currently experiencing some challenges in managing appointment bookings and delivering care as efficiently as we normally do.

Please know that our dedicated team is working tirelessly to resolve these issues and ensure that we continue to provide the highest quality of care during this time. We appreciate your understanding and patience as we navigate through this situation.

If you need to contact us or book an appointment, please be aware that response times might be a bit longer than usual. We are here for you and will do everything we can to meet your healthcare needs as promptly as possible.

Thank you for your continued trust in our practice. We’ll keep you updated on any further developments.

Warm regards,
Dr Brian Higgins

Long Acting Reversible Contraception (LARC) are highly effective in preventing pregnancy for an extended period of time.

LARCs are reversible which means that it is possible to remove them and once you do you can become pregnant as quickly as someone who is not using contraception. An exception is the injection, where there can be a delay in return to fertility.

All LARCs are covered free of charge under the contraception programme for 17-30-year-olds.

Get winter ready by getting vaccinated💉 We would encourage all those in at-risk groups to contact their GP or local pharmacy about getting vaccinated as soon as possible. The best time to have the vaccines is in the autumn or early winter, before the viruses start spreading and we start to see cases rise.

The vaccinations are offered free of charge for those most at risk, for example over-65’s, pregnant women and those with a compromised immune system. It is also offered for free and encouraged for healthcare professionals and carers

We are now running vaccine clinics at Galway Primary Care.

According to the HSE

Every year in Ireland about 300 people get cervical cancer.

90 women die from it.

In women aged 25 to 39 years, cervical cancer is the second most common cause of death due to cancer.

Cervical cancer is very rare in people under 25.

It's important to get tested as soon as you can to rule anything out.

Early detection is key in fighting cancer.

Get in touch today if you'd like to learn more about our cervical screening programme.
