NoWDOC has issued its Christmas and New Year opening hours.
The service provides urgent GP family doctor service to patients in Donegal.
NoWDOC services will be running from 6pm tomorrow, December 24th, until 8am on Friday December 27th, and from 6pm on the 27th until 8am on Monday December 30th.
The service will run from 6pm on Monday the 30th until 8am on Tuesday the 31, New Year’s Eve, and then from 6 o’clock that evening until 8am on Thursday the 2nd January 2025.
The service is designed to provide urgent GP care to patients and is not a substitute for the Emergency Ambulance Service, who are the appropriate service to deal with medical emergencies where they arise.
People are being asked to bear with NoWDOC as they are expected to receive a high volume of calls over the festive period.
They are also being advised that prescriptions and medicines are arranged with their own GP and pharmacy before the holiday period commences.

- From 6pm Tuesday 24th December to 8am Friday 27th December 2024
