Practice overview

Connswater Family Practice is a well-established practice in Belfast. The current patient list size is over 5,000 patients.

Our team includes GPs, a practice nurse and health care assistant. They are supported by our practice manager and administrative and reception staff.

We offer a full general practice service and run specialist clinics for long term conditions, children, pregnant women, and for patients needing minor surgery.  We aim to treat all our patients promptly, courteously and in complete confidence.

We provide our registered patients all core NHS-funded general medical services, as well as a number of enhanced medical services and private medical services not funded by the NHS.

Training practice

Connswater Family Practice is a training practice for GP registrars - these are qualified doctors who are completing their training as a general practitioner. We also provide short placements for medical students to support their studies as doctors.

This is an important area of our work, and we are grateful for your help in this contribution to the future NHS. Any Medical student who comes to the practice will always protect patients' confidentiality and as a patient you will be informed when teaching is taking place and you can choose not to be involved.
All of our doctors work with GP registrars / students when they are here. If you would prefer them not to be present during your consultation, then please inform the doctor at the start of your consultation.

Car parking and disabled access

The practice has a small car park for patients using the practice for an appointment, which includes parking spaces for blue badge holders.  Further car parking is available in nearby public car parks and on-street parking.

There is easy access into the practices and there is a wheelchair for use in the surgery and disabled toilet facilities.
