Community Pharmacies:
You can visit your local pharmacy if you feel unwell. Pharmacists are qualified healthcare professionals. They can give you medicines you can buy without a prescription, medicines you have a prescription for, advice on minor illnesses, and can tell you if you need to see a GP.
GPs and GP Out-of-Hours Services:
GPs are running additional clinics during this time of high pressure. If you urgently need to see a GP outside their clinic hours, you can contact your local GP out-of-hours service.
Children’s Urgent Care (by appointment)
CHI at Connolly treats children with minor injuries and illnesses that are not life-threatening and do not require a visit to the Emergency Department (ED). The urgent care service is by appointment only.
If your child needs to stay in hospital
Sometimes the best bed for your child may be in another CHI hospital
Our priority is simple: to make sure your child gets safe, high-quality care in the right place.
“The right care in the right place as safely and quickly as possible"
For healthcare professionals
GPs may refer patients to Emergency Departments if conditions are serious or life-threatening.
