All GPs have worked in paediatrics as part of their General Practice training. Our team is also highly experienced in treating common childhood illnesses in the community and addressing parental concerns. We offer all routine childhood vaccinations and other vaccinations on request e.g.; chicken pox vaccine for those who would not otherwise be offered it under the HSE.

All children under 8 years of age living in Ireland can get a GP visit card.
The under 8s GP visit card covers:
free GP visits
assessments at age 2 and 5
out-of-hours urgent GP care
care for children with asthma
Medication costs and hospital charges are not covered.
Please be aware that free GP care cannot be provided until you have a valid Under 8 card number for your child. If an application has not been made for your child following their 6 week check all GP visits between the 6 week check and having a valid card number will be charged at the normal rate.
Click here to register your child for an Under 8 GP Visit Card.
To register your child you need to provide your:
PPS number
child’s PPS number
GP’s name
If your family already have a GMS card and your child needs to be added to the family card please contact reception and we will apply for you. You will need to provide a copy of your child’s birth cert and PPS number.
If you are a private patient you will need to apply for the card online due to it being a new application.
Immunisation is a simple, safe and effective way of protecting babies and children against certain diseases. The risks from having these diseases are far greater than the risk of any minor side effects from immunisation.
