New GP practice opens in Navan

Brews Hill Medical Centre operated by husband and wife team

The opening of a new GP practice at Navan's Brews Hill is great news for the town and a large hinterland, because of a huge shortage of GPs in the county.

Dr. Gazment Berisha has opened his new practice at 34 Brews Hill, Navan, along with his wife, Dr Ortenca Ranci.

This highly qualified duo will offer a complete range of GP services to both GMS and private patients. Dr Berisha and Dr Ranci are both trained as GPs in the North East Training Scheme and are MICGP members. Dr Berisha and Dr Ranci have special interests in ENT and Respiratory Medicine, respectively.

Dr Berisha is a graduate of Trinity College Dublin, graduating in 2012 and he has worked in various hospitals in Ireland caring for adults and children. Dr Ranci studied in Turkey and specialised in respiratory medicine. She has worked in a number of hospitals here in Ireland and has vast experience in patient care with both adults and children.

The couple are both of Albanian origin and have lived in Ireland in the past 28 years. "We moved to Navan when we joined the North East GP Training Scheme and since then we have settled here with our family. We are delighted to be part of the community and offer our GP services."

The practice can be contacted by telephone on 046 908 6055 or by email on reception@brewshillmedical.ie, and are accepting walk-ins, private patients and medical card holders.
