Living Well Workshops
This is a free group programme (provided by the HSE) which runs online for 6 weeks as a 2 & a half hour weekly workshop. It is for anyone aged over 18 with at least one longterm health condition, or their Carer. It’s not suitable for people with significant memory or learning difficulties.
I would recommend to anyone interested to look further into this, with further information available here: https://www.hse.ie/eng/health/hl/selfmanagement/living-well-programme/ If you scroll down to CHO5 on this page, you will see details of upcoming courses for this area, including how to book same.
Extension
We are delighted to have been able to move into the new extension in late Spring. This HSE building was originally built in the early-mid 1970’s & hopefully will continue to serve the area for many more decades to come. Much gratitude to all who have brought about this significant development.
Buíochas/ Gratitude
Much gratitude to everyone in our Practice Team – for all the work during both the Covid Pandemic & also during Building Works.
