Can't complain too much about this doctors practice. It is clean, the staff are friendly, it is…read morenever overcrowded although a very busy practice. There are plenty of GP's and they are usually very knowledgeable. Which isn't always the case. My only gripe, well two gripes, is that the parking can be an absolute nightmare sometimes, and also that they make you wait 48 hours to get a repeat prescription. I don't know if all doctors are the same but it's well annoying. lol. Apart from that, I am happy with this practice.

I couldn't believe their kindness dedication and great teamwork delivering first class care. Nothing was too much trouble for the doctors, nurses , healthcares, and the housekeepers. The doctors and nurses helped me feel well cared for and reasured as I was very anxious before my operation. I have had breast care in other hospitals in England and in comparison your hospitals care and staff dedication is excellent all round Thank you! I won't ever forget my positive experience under your great team, Rowena Dunham-Vance

Just over a year ago I received a pretty bad cut to the back of my left foot (due to wearing entirely unsuitable shoes!) so I duly rubbed on some Savlon, stuck on a plaster, and merrily went on my way. Unfortunately by the next day, it had swollen up pretty badly, and I could not put and pressure on it at all, and was in a considerable amount of pain, so unfortunately it seemed like a trip to the dreaded A&E was on the cards. Whiteabbey is my most convenient, but they no longer offer Accident and Emergency, so I managed to talk my mother into kindly taking me to Antrim. I brought a magazine with me, because my previous experiences of A&E meant long boring waits.. but I was amazed to be seen only 10 minutes after arrival, and within half an hour, I was patched up, armed with a course of anti-biotics and on my way home. Very impressed!

A fad for crystals and other such New Age things had I thought passed over somewhat but here you can buy many shapes, sizes and types of crystal for their supposed healing powers and other beneficial effects. Whatever those might be, they're still interesting to look at. If you feel the need for music for relaxation or meditation you can buy CDs here and have a quick listen first using a box with headphones that is set up beside them. There are also tarot cards of many types and accompanying jewellery and trinkets. Inside the shop is painted a pale lavender which makes it slightly chilly in here but out of curiosity alone I'd probably go back anyway because it feels like being in a late 70s time warp.

MSM is a great (and free!) magazine which features interviews and articles exploring all aspects of physical, mental and emotional health, there's reviews and fashion pages (how could there not be!) there's great informative advice and support as well as photo galleries from the gay scene. It's compacted in to a handy pocket size mag and even includes the brilliant 'Gay O Scopes' for those astrology buffs out there. I'm 100% behind this fabulous and funny publication. I'm proud of the open and accepting gay culture we have in Belfast, long may it continue!

The mobile breast screening unit is situated in the grounds of Ards hospital .This is for the…read morepurpose of all women over the age of 50 to be invited to attend the unit for breast screening every three years. This screening is called a mammogram which is a special X-ray which can spot cancers that are too small to see or feel. The whole procedure involves an opportunity to ask any relevant questions and then to have each breast X-rayed. The whole procedure takes less than half an hour and the mammogram itself will only take a few minutes. The X-rays will be reviewed by a specialist and the results will be sent to your home and your doctor in about two weeks. So ladies if you haven't availed yourself of this service don't be afraid, that half an hour could literally save your life.

Ards Hospital will always go down in history, there will come a time when tourists will flock there…read moreto honour the birthplace of a literary great. That is because Ards hospital is responsible for delivering wee baby me around 23 years ago. Unfortunately they no longer offer midwifery, some say they reached the pinnacle around 23 years ago but others argue that government budget cuts encouraged the closure of this centre. I believe the former. Ards Hospital really is a shadow of its former self, but it still plays an important role in the community. They offer a walk in service Monday to Friday and if I was to have a minor injury I would bypass Hospitals that are closer to my home in order to go to Ards hospital. Day care, Outpatients facilities and minor operations are also preformed at Ards Hospital. Ards Hospital has always been extremely sympathetic to its patients needs. It has the feeling of a Family GP practice rather than a city hospital. The building itself has the same personality as the staff, wise and open with a whole lot of knowledge to share. It was once a Victorian workhouse but there is no need to worry about being served gruel at Ards today as they offer full catering department equipped with an affordable café for patients and visitors. All in all I would commend this hospital for its character and approach to care.

The practice is in a modern, custom build building with a fair sized car park outside. The reception is just to the right as you walk in the door and is staffed by a friendly team. They have a downstairs reception area with comfortable seating and magazines, and an upstairs member's area with seating, magazines, tea, coffee, water biscuits and TV. Today was my first appointment and I'm admittedly not a fan of the dentist, but they put me at ease immediately and my appointment went smoothly and the dentist was very friendly and informative. Definitely recommend this practice!

It houses various sectors of the Trust including the family planning clinic, children's unit, podiatry, mental health team, health visitors and so on. The centre has been here for a number of years and is a vital part of the community. I know a few people who work for the Northern Trust in this centre and they have not one bad thing to say about it. It's a great place to work, every one is made to feel welcome and you will often see a friendly, smiling face around the (some what dilapadated) buildings. From personal experience I've never had any trouble or mishaps here. The receptions are always cheerful and helpful, they are professional secretaries that don't misplace your appointment. There's a lovely community feel around this area that's partially held together by the local services around here.
