When registering with Grange Family Practice you will be registering with the Practice and not an individual GP.
For administrative purposes your medical card will be issued in the name of one of the doctors; however, you can at any time express a preference for a particular doctor, for either all of your medical needs or on a case-by- case basis. This preference will be recorded in your computer record and we will do our best to respect your choice. However, not all the doctors in the practice provide every service and specific doctors may not be available immediately.
If you wish to register to contact the practice for more information
