Westdoc is the out-of-hours GP service, which has been developed
on a partnership basis between General Practitioners and the Western Health
Board.
It provides out of hours medical care to public and private patients of
participating doctors in the Western Health Board region between 6.00pm and
8.00am, Monday to Friday and 24 hours on Saturdays, Sundays and Bank Holidays.
This service commenced operation on December 2nd, 2002 and was formed to develop
and implement a more managed and streamlined approach to out of hours GP
services in the Western Health Board region with emphasis on patient access and
quality of service.
The service is by appointment and patients access the service via a lo-call
number, 1850 365 000 and appointments with local General Practitioners are made
by the Triage Nursing staff at a Call Centre located in Galway City.
Appointments with the GP are given at a particular centre or, where necessary,
at the patient's place of residence. There are currently 104 GP's participating
in Westdoc.
