Welcome to Dr Ruddell & Partners, Lisburn Primary & Community Care Centre

With this website we are aiming to help you find all the information you need at the click of a mouse. You can order repeat prescriptions online, download registration forms and much more.

There is a wealth of information about medical conditions and diseases in our patient information leaflets as well as all the latest practice news and developments.

We are always looking to improve our services so leave some feedback on our contact page.

Important Notice

GP practices have received notification from the Strategic Planning & Performance Group (formerly the Health & Social Care Board) that they have frozen the free movement of patients between practices from 1 November 2023 to 31 March 2024.  This is to help practices with winter pressures.

Any patient who is currently registered with a GP practice in their area should remain registered with their current Practice and should not move to another practice within the same catchment area.  Any patient new to the area, or without a current GP practice, will be registered with the Practice on request.

GP Services

We provide a daily telephone triage service with routine calls logged from 8.30am with a limited number of available slots each day.  Urgent calls will be allocated to the doctor on call that day and not a specific GP.

The GPs have directed Reception staff to ask all patients for an overview of their medical problem to help determine the best course of action to help them.  This may be a telephone call from our Practice Pharmacist or Practice Nurse. Thank you in advance for your cooperation.

We would also like to remind you that we have a zero tolerance policy regarding threatening or abusive behaviour towards our staff.
