DO NOT ATTEND YOUR GP SURGERY. PLEASE TELEPHONE FIRST. All queries in relation to the Coronavirus should be directed to NHS24 by dialling 111. They are open day and night. Callers will be assessed by their clinicians to ensure you get the best possible advice. NHS inform website is still the fastest way for you…
Access to the Surgery is limited and a buzzer entry system has been installed. Social Distancing measures are in place. Do Not Attend the surgery in person unless advised to do so, please telephone 01294 463838 in the first instance.
We cannot offer routine face to face appointments but you can book a routine telephone appointment instead. These are available to book up to 2 weeks in advance. If clinically necessary during the telephone appointment, the GP or Advanced Nurse Practitioner will book you a face to face appointment with them at a mutually convenient time.
If your contact is urgent and cannot wait for a routine appointment, please telephone the surgery between 8:30am and 10:30am, Monday to Friday, where you will be added to the urgent on-the-day triage list. Be prepared to give details and a telephone number. A Clinician will call you back and discuss your urgent request. This could be from a withheld number so please answer. If you are given an appointment, attend alone at the time of your appointment. The Clinician will be wearing full PPE during the consultation and it is advisable that you wear a mask/face covering to attend the health centre.
A Video Consultation might be arranged instead. The Clinician will decide which is more suitable. Click here for the instructions on how to access a pre-arranged video consultation.
We also have a Community Link Work and Mental Health Practitioner working with the practice via telephone appointments. If you need financial advice, have employment concerns or feel stressed or anxious, we can arrange a telephone appointment. Just phone and ask for an appointment.
If you have any of the symptoms of the Coronavirus (Covid 19), you must not attend the surgery. Please access www.nhsinform.scot for advice if you are well enough to manage your symptoms. If you are unwell, please dial NHS24 on 111 at anytime.
