A great success that has so much potential for extension in many more clinical areas….
🏥 More care closer to home, shorter waits for patients.
Today I visited Bovally Medical Centre in Limavady to see how local GPs are helping transform access to planned care.
✅ 1,352 vasectomy procedures carried out in GP practices across Northern Ireland last year.
✅ More than double the 600 patients treated in primary care just two years earlier.
✅ Patients receiving treatment closer to home, helping reduce pressure on our hospitals.
I met Dr Joe Devlin and his team to hear first-hand how this service is making a real difference.
This is exactly the kind of practical change we need across our health service.
By bringing GPs, hospitals and community services together through our Neighbourhood model, we can deliver the right care, in the right place, at the right time.
👏 Thank you to all the dedicated GP and practice teams making this happen. #HopeNotFear #MakeNIWork #RESET #TransformHealthView quoted post on X
