Prison GP
Healthcare in prison is delivered by a highly motivated multidisciplinary team of healthcare professionals who want to make a difference, improve the health outcomes for all people in prison and make Northern Ireland a safer place. The team aims to provide opportunities for people to develop a positive attitude towards their own health and well-being on an individual basis or through public health initiatives.
The service is designed to provide care that is equivalent to that within the community, enabling and supporting individuals to maintain optimum health and quality of life, inside the prison environment. A high standard of care is provided by a wide variety of healthcare professionals, including GPs, at least equivalent to the standard expected in a community setting.
Our services are delivered across three prison establishments each having its own health centre to deliver primary health care.
