Appointments

How to see your Doctor or Nurse

Although you may be registered with a specific GP, you may be seen by either of our partners. You do have the right to express a preference of GP, or to book appointments with a specific GP. Please note both GPs and our Nurse work on a part-time basis.

Appointments with a GP, Nurse or other clinician can be made either personally at the reception desk or by telephone.

Types of Appointment

We offer  “on the day” appointments every day. Please telephone on the morning of the day you require an appointment from 8.45am when you will be given an appointment time.

We also offer advance pre-bookable appointments every day. Please contact reception to book one of these.

We offer early morning appointments between 7.00am and 8.00am every Wednesday.  Please ask for details

Treatment room sessions are Tuesday 09.00-10.00am and Friday 10.30- 11.30am.

District nurses can be contacted on 01360 449570.

Home Visits

If possible please try to telephone reception before 10am 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 that it would be more appropriate to send a nurse, or indeed arrange a hospital attendance.

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

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.

Teaching

We are involved in teaching students from Glasgow University. If this involves a student sitting in on a consultation you will be advised when you arrive. You have the right to refuse any student sitting in on a consultation.
