“I attended today with my son who was suffering an asthma attack and I cannot praise the staff in there highly enough. From the nurses constantly checking on him and always having a smile on their faces to his Dr whose name was Chris who went above and beyond! The staff were under serious pressure and a number of parents were giving them grief. Can I just ask if you attend be prepared for a long wait as the NHS is overstretched and those in there are fighting everyday to make sure the sickest and most critical kids are taken care of. Be patient with them as the wait times are not their fault but exacerbated by parents taking their kids up as they have a cold and temperature. Once again I cannot praise the staff enough !”

“I stayed here and it was lovely place. Staff were brilliant and did the best they could. The negative reviews are from people that don't understand that the nurses have alot to do and have to write up every little thing. They are understaffed and doing thier best and very kind. My life has been better since leaving and I will always be thankful for the staff and the DBT they provided me. Thank you all x”

“Attended yesterday due to asthma symptoms. In area visiting family so not registered at practice. The staff couldn’t be more helpful, unfortunately I can’t recall her name but the lady on reception with the enviably neat pony tail was fantastic. Nursing and medical staff also great they had good understanding and a compassionate ear. Patients in this catchment area are very lucky indeed.”

“Called the irwin practice today at 1040am. It took me 20mins to get through. The gp phoned me back at 1130 and has organised medication for me to be picked up before lunch. Excellent service. To wait 20mins on the phone to get through is not much considering in total i have been treated within an hour. Receptionist and gp were both professional and very helpful. Thank you”

“Never had a problem with Lisburn health centre. Always under pressure, but still do a good job. I had an appointment with Dr Mckee today, this man is so professional, and sorted me out with my breathing problems.”

“Brilliant practice, been going for almost 10 years and always able to get an appointment/speak to someone when necessary. All doctors, nurses and administrative staff are kind, professional and highly competent. All concerns handled with respect and compassion. Disappointed to have recently moved home and fallen out of their catchment area!”

“I have visited multiple times for baby swim classes. The pool is clean and well maintained, and the staff are incredibly friendly and helpful. Everything is well organized, and the atmosphere is perfect for little ones. Highly recommended!”
