GP Link to Emergency Department

EMERGENCY DIRECT GP LIAISON NURSE SERVICE:

Our Emergency Department is operating an appointment only system. To arrange a review, please send a referral via HEALTHLINK & ask your patient to call our Helpline: 01 664 4600.

Our Emergency GP Liaison Service was set up to improve communications and provide a DIRECT LINK between our Emergency department and GPs, Optometrists & other health care professionals on behalf of patients. The Emergency GP Liaison Nurse (GPLN) provides a central, efficient and timely communication link to G.P.’s and other Primary Providers.

GPs & Optometrists can access this service if they need information regarding follow up, test results, outcomes or information regarding the most appropriate referral pathway for their patient.

Health professionals should contact the GP Liaison Nurse if you have concerns regarding a patient you are referring, or any patient who has already attended the Emergency Department. The GPLN will provide a link to an Emergency Doctor if necessary. As this is a part time position, if you need to speak with an Emergency Department Doctor outside of these hours, please contact 01 6644600 & your call will be transferred appropriately.
