Diabetes UK - The Diabetes UK Care Events Team will be holding residential weekends for adults with Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes and their partners or carers.  The weekend include discussion groups on the impact of diagnosis and informative talks on all aspects of diabetes.   For children with diabetes, their parents and siblings, there are Family Weekends with a similar programme of supportive discussions and informative talks.   Children with diabetes aged 7 to 18 years can apply to attend Diabetes UK children's holidays.  During a week long programme they will gain valuable support to better self-manage their diabetes.   For more information about any of these events visit the Diabetes UK website or email careevents@diabetes.org.uk.

 

Welcome to our Health Centre Website


Our aim is to provide comprehensive, individual medical services in a courteous timely manner; in a friendly modern environment.   We believe in a person-centred, modern healthcare system that exists for the benefit of our patients; designed to allow us to work in partnership with each person receiving care and treatment so that we can meet the needs and wishes of that person as far as is reasonable and possible.  

In this website you will find information about the practice and how to access medical services including ordering your repeat prescriptions on-line.    Just click on the link for prescriptions on the right hand side of the page.     Please allow at least 48 hours (or 2 working days)  for your prescription to be processed before collection.  

Swine Influenza

The Scottish Government has advised anyone in Scotland who develops flu-like symptoms or who has recently returned from one of the affected areas and is worried about their health to contact NHS 24 on 08454 24 24 24.

If you have flu like symptoms and have returned from any of the areas affected within the last seven days or been in contact with someone who has, please take the following precautions :

Avoid unnecessary contact with other people to reduce the risk of cross infection.

Stay at home and contact NHS 24 on 08454 24 24 24 or contact the health centre on the usual number 01786 833210.    If you contact the health centre, a nurse or GP will phone you back to discuss your symptoms and the management of your illness.  

New Services

EMIS Access :  We have recently introduced a new service and it is now possible to book an appointment on-line.   This service is called EMIS Access.    

To obtain your unique user id and password, please contact the Health Centre.   When you have these, simply  click here  to use the service.      Please note that the system does not allow patients aged 16 and under to use this service.  

You can also access the service via your digital TV using your Red Button.   Visit www.lookinglocal.gov.uk  to find out how the booking service works via digital TV

MJOG :   We are also developing a service called MJOG which will automatically send out a text message the day before your booked appointment, to remind you of the the time and date of your appointment.    We will also use this service to send out other personal messages,  for instance, if the doctor wishes you to make an appointment to discuss results of recent blood tests.    

In order for this service to work, we need to have your mobile telephone number in your electronic medical record.    If you think we do not already have this information, please do let us know your number.    You can do this using the Update your contact details option on the screen below.   

If you do not wish to receive text messages on your mobile phone, you can ask to be excluded from this service.    Please let us know if this is the case.   

Patient Feedback

We are keen to develop the practice and the services that we provide so that we can continue to provide the best possible service to all of our patients.   It is important to us that we have feedback from our patients on how you would like to see the service develop.   We would be grateful therefore if you could take a few moments to complete our on-line patient survey (click on the link below).

Also, in common with all practices across Scotland, we are collecting health information about our patients which will ultimately be used when deciding how best to develop the services provided by the NHS.   The information that we need most is your smoking status (even if you are a non-smoker), your ethnic group and if you need an interpreter when you consult with a health professional.     We would be grateful, if you could let us have this information next time you visit the practice.  

If you would like to discuss any aspect of the services that are provided in the Health Centre or if there is something that you would like further information about, please do get in touch with our Practice Manager, Mrs Hazel Gracie.
