    He's moved alright, but still in the shopping centre, now around the corner near the bank.

    or try Westdoc if it's more of an emergency.
    They're in Liosban.

    Unless things have changed Westdoc aren't interested in talking to you unless you're a registered patient of one of their member GPs.

    Nope: Whitehall is just outside the Eyre Square Centre, and I'm pretty sure not open Saturdays. Fergal whatsit is up in the Galway Shopping Centre on Headford Rd.

    Galway city GPs dont usually open at weekends at all, all GPs havta provide an out of hours emergency service for their patients and the details of this are left on a recorded message when you ring the surgery out of hours. So who you would see in the evening/weekend depends on what co-op your own GP is a member of.
    A lot of Galway City GPs (and all county GPs) are covered by Westdoc (1850 365000) and some are covered by Citydoc. Westdoc covers from 6pm -8am during the week and all weekends. Even though they say its for emergencies they will see u for things like sore throats, MAP etc.
