Welcome to the Rowantree Family Medical Practice

docbaby At the Rowantree Family Medical Practice in Belfast the doctors and nurses take pride in offering the highest standard of patient-centred healthcare.

We run many clinics for chronic disease care and offer a wide variety of other medical services such as antenatal and postnatal care, minor surgery, childhood vaccinations and well-person check-ups.

The Practice is a dual site, Dunluce Health Centre and Dunmurry, providing health care for about 6000 patients. The Dunluce Surgery is situated at the junction of Dunluce Avenue and the Lisburn Road. The Dunmurry Surgery is situated at the entrance to the Seymour Hill Estate. New patients may register at the Practice providing they live within the catchment area.

The Practice has a General Medical Service Contract with the Health and Social Care Board. It is a training practice with close connection to Queen’s University, Belfast. We teach both medical students and doctors training to be GPs.

Interpreting Services

Our practice offers interpreting services, free of charge, for any patients that require this. Please state to reception when booking appointments and when you are registering if you will need a translator for appointments. This can be both over the phone or face to face interpreters and we can specify preferred genders if required.
