In addition, Duality will be opening virtual GP hubs in Gordons Chemists in Kilkeel, Lisburn, Enniskillen and Rathcoole as the first Phase of a province-wide rollout of Duality virtual GP hubs in Gordons Chemists. These hubs will allow for private virtual consultations with a Duality clinician, with prescriptions being instantly available for collection at the Gordons Chemists counter.<\/p>\n
The partnership will see Duality\u2019s experienced GP team working across Gordons Chemists locations to provide integrated medical services, offering patients the convenience of same-day appointments, virtual consultations, and direct referral pathways. By combining the strengths of both organisations, communities and patients will benefit from a seamless, locally accessible health service tailored to modern needs.<\/p>\n
The move increases fast-growing Duality Healthcare\u2019s presence around Northern Ireland, adding to clinics in Newry, Omagh and Ballymena. Their opening is part of multi-million-pound investment that is expected to see even more locations added in 2026.<\/p>\n
John McEvoy, CEO of Duality Healthcare, says: \u201cWe are delighted to work alongside Gordons to bring our hybrid healthcare model to more patients than ever before.<\/p>\n
“This partnership brings private healthcare closer to home, expanding access to GP and specialist services in areas where healthcare access can be limited. It marks a major step in bridging community pharmacy and primary care through innovation and collaboration.<\/p>\n
“It is also another important step for Duality Healthcare in our mission to deliver accessible, high-quality, affordable healthcare to communities across Northern Ireland and redefine how people experience primary care through improved access, enhanced outcomes, and building a system that truly works for patients.\u201d<\/p>\n
