When calling to request an appointment, our Receptionists will ask for brief details of your symptoms or concerns; this is at the request of our GPs as it allows them to prioritise their telephone and face to face consultations.

While we now have a number of face-to-face appointments available, we particularly ask that, if you have any symptoms of a respiratory illness (which can include, for example: sneezing, coughing, runny nose, temperature or sore throat), you do not request an appointment with a GP, but ask to have a telephone consultation in the first instance.

Welcome

COVID-19 booster vaccinations & Seasonal Flu vaccinations 2021: please remove both paragraphs and replace with the following:

Winter vaccination programme 2021-22:

The winter vaccination programme has started. If you are eligible for a free flu vaccine, you will receive a letter from NHS Scotland which will either give you an appointment at one of the local flu vaccination clinics, or instruct you to make an appointment online.

If you are eligible for a COVID booster, you may get this at the same time as your flu vaccine, but this is not guaranteed and you may have to attend two separate appointments.

If you have received a letter with an appointment that you are unable to attend, you can rearrange your appointment online at https://www.nhsinform.scot/flu-vaccine/invitations-and-appointments/rearrange-your-flu-vaccine-appointment. 

Alternatively you can call the national helpline on 0800 030 8013 for assistance with re-booking. If you are housebound, your vaccines will be given to you by the Community Housebound  Vaccination Team, and they will be in touch to arrange this.

You cannot receive the flu vaccine or COVID booster at the surgery. Please do not contact us about flu or COVID vaccine appointments.

Getting the Right Care in the Right Place: Before contacting us to make an appointment, please consider whether another Health Professional may be able to help. Follow the link for more information. Minor Injury Assessment: If you are aged 12 years and over and have a minor injury which is less than 14 days old (for example: suspected broken bones, sprains, wounds, burns, bites and stings, eye injuries), you should call NHS24 on 111 to arrange a confidential discussion with a Nurse Practitioner, who will assess your injury and provide advice. This will take place by video call but, if you do not have video technology, you will be given an appointment to attend the Minor Injuries Service.
