Oakwood Medical Clinic

What Oakwood Medical Clinic does

Oakwood Medical Clinic is a private GP partnership founded in 2011 by Dr Nicola Black and Dr Geoff Lavery, operating from a purpose-built facility at Kirkfield House, Clonsilla Road, Dublin 15. It delivers comprehensive primary care across the full life cycle — general practice, women's health, men's health, children's health, mental health, dermatology, sexual health, chronic disease management (Asthma, COPD, Diabetes, cardiovascular conditions), phlebotomy, cryotherapy and vaccinations — augmented by specialty services including a BMS-accredited Menopause Clinic (Menopausecare@oakwood) led by Dr Laoise Byrne and pelvic floor physiotherapy. The clinic serves the Dublin 15 community, accepting both private fee-paying patients and those covered by HSE schemes (Medical Card, GP Visit Card, Under 8s GP Visit Card, CervicalCheck), with new patient registrations currently paused due to capacity. As an official GP Specialist Training Scheme Teaching Practice for both the UCD Dublin Mid Leinster and North Dublin City schemes, the practice also hosts GP Registrars and medical students.

The business model is a fee-for-service private practice blended with capitation payments from the HSE for scheme-eligible patients. Private consultation fees range from €65 (student rate) to €95 (consultation with bloods), with specialist menopause first consultations priced at €200 and reviews at €100, prescription fees at €25, EPA capacity assessments at €170, and a €20 DNA fee for missed appointments; consultations are paid in advance via cash, Laser or Visa. Revenue mechanics span per-visit private billing, recurring HSE capitation, ancillary services (physio, prescriptions, forms), and national screening fees (CervicalCheck). Distribution runs through in-clinic appointments, telephone consultations, home visits for housebound patients, and the Pippo digital self-serve booking platform for registered patients; marketing relies on the clinic's own website, Facebook and LinkedIn pages, word-of-mouth in Dublin 15, and HSE scheme participation.

The practice operates on a fully computerised electronic medical records system with off-site data backup on Ireland-based servers, GDPR-compliant data handling, electronic prescribing emailed directly to patients' chosen pharmacies, and digital appointment management via Pippo. Co-located with Complete Care Chemist in the same building and with Medica on-site ultrasound and DEXA services, the clinic offers a one-stop diagnostic-and-dispensary footprint. The team comprises partner GPs Black and Lavery, associate GPs, GP registrars, nurses, a pelvic floor physiotherapist, a phlebotomist, two managers (Business Manager Pasquelina Stewart and Practice Manager Johan Guerra) and approximately nine admin/reception staff. The clinic is independent, owner-operated by the two founding partners with no external parent company, private equity backing or institutional investment.

Direct peers

• Centric Health: Ireland's largest independent GP clinic group, operating multi-GP primary care practices across Dublin and regional Ireland with similar services (general practice, women's health, men's health, chronic disease management) and HSE scheme participation. Directly comparable business model as an Irish GP clinic operator.
• Spectrum Health: Irish multi-specialty primary care and dental group operating GP clinics with comparable service breadth (general practice, women's health, physiotherapy) and HSE scheme participation. Similar partnership/private clinic operator profile serving Dublin communities.
• GP.ie (Irish GP Network): Network of independent Irish GP practices offering comparable primary care services including chronic disease management, women's health, and HSE scheme participation. Similar partnership-based Irish GP clinic operating model.

Emerging players

• Webdoctor.ie: Irish online GP consultation service providing telehealth primary care. Comparable in target customer (Irish patients seeking primary care) but competes via a digital-only model rather than in-person clinic services — partial overlap in patient base.
• MyClinic: Irish digital GP service offering online consultations and prescriptions. Comparable Irish primary care customer base but operates via telehealth rather than physical clinic infrastructure.
• LIVI (Doccla Group): European digital GP/primary care provider offering video consultations and prescriptions. Comparable primary care offering across the patient lifecycle, although serving UK/European markets via telehealth rather than in-clinic visits.

Regional players

• DDoc (Dublin Doctors on Call): Dublin-based out-of-hours GP cooperative providing home visits and urgent appointments to patients of participating practices. Comparable Dublin-focused GP service model, although operating primarily in out-of-hours/home-visit segments rather than daytime clinic practice.

Others

• Medica Ireland: Diagnostic imaging provider partnered with Oakwood to deliver on-site ultrasound and DEXA services at the Clonsilla clinic. Adjacent/ecosystem participant rather than competitor, but indicative of comparable Irish primary care delivery infrastructure.
• Irish College of General Practitioners (ICGP): Professional and training body for Irish GPs that sets specialty standards, oversees CME, and accredits training schemes (including the UCD Dublin Mid Leinster and North Dublin City schemes in which Oakwood participates). Adjacent ecosystem participant shaping GP training and clinical governance.
• HSE (Health Service Executive): Ireland's national health service authority that funds Medical Cards, GP Visit Cards, Under 8s Scheme, CervicalCheck, and Chronic Disease Management — Oakwood's principal state reimbursement counterparty. Not a direct competitor but central to the practice's operating model and revenue.
