Private GP in Lurgan
Private GP Lurgan
Private GP Lurgan appointments are held at our clinic on High Street. If you live in Lurgan, Brownlow, Magheralin or the wider BT66 and BT67 area, this is the closest private GP for same-day and next-day care, prescriptions, sick notes and medical reports.
Alongside the NHS, not instead of it. Keep your NHS GP. Call 999 in an emergency. Friends Medical GP is for planned private appointments and home visits that are not emergencies.
The local angle
The GP clinic sits on Lurgan High Street inside Southside Healthcare, so local patients can walk in from work, school pickup or the town centre without a hospital-style wait.
Lurgan patients often come to us because they cannot get a timely NHS appointment, need an evening or Saturday slot, or want a named GP who has time to listen. The clinic is part of Friends Medical Service, so if you need a scan, blood test or consultant later, the next step is already in the same family of clinics.
