Appointments

Appointments can be made by phone, we have a triage service in place at the moment.  If you prefer to see a particular Doctor please let us know and we shall try our best to accommodate your request, however this will not always be possible.

Please remember that the reception staff are there to help you and any questions they may ask are designed to assist the doctor in caring for your well-being.

We aim to offer on the days appointments for people requiring urgent attention outwith routine care.   Our telephone lines are open at 8.30am.  Please phone early if you require a same day appointment.

Home Visits

If possible please try to telephone reception before 10.30am if you require a home visit.

A doctor or nurse may phone you back as it may be that your problem can be dealt with by telephone advice, or indeed arrange a hospital attendance.

Home visits are only available for patients who are housebound because of illness or disability.

Home visits are carried out by a Doctor or the Advance Nurse Practitioner

Please remember that several patients can be seen in the practice in the time that it takes to make one home visit. There are also better facilities for examining and treating patients at the Health Centre.

Telephone Consultations

We have introduced telephone consultations which can be arranged with the receptionist.
