Ballyraine Park Health Centre Letterkenny

About Our Practice

Ballyraine Park Health Centre is a family medical practice located in Letterkenny, Co. Donegal. We provide a range of medical services to both private and medical card patients.

The practice was established over thirty years ago by Dr Maria Murray. As the town population expanded, the practice gradually grew to become the modern primary care centre it is today. Our team consists of six full-time doctors, three practice nurses and two GPAs (General Practice Assistants) – all of whom are passionate about providing healthcare services safely and confidentially.

Our practice is a training practice affiliated with the Irish College of General Practitioners and we have two GP trainers. We train qualified doctors who are further training to be GPs. We also teach medical students from NUI Galway and Trinity College Dublin.
