All Patients Please Read

09/12/24 - The practice is currently experiencing teething issues with our new digital IT system. This is causing our computers to be intermittently non-functional including faults with our printing facilities. As a result of these issues, consultations may take longer than expected causing appointments to be delayed on the day and increased waiting times, and there may be issues generating prescriptions and obtaining test results. NHS Lanarkshire IT department are aware of the issues we are experiencing and are working hard to resolve the issues. Please be mindful of these difficulties we are experiencing when contacting the practice and attending your appointment. Thank you for your understanding.

Care Planning Conversations

Dr Paul Baughan, a GP in Forth Valley and National Clinical Lead with Healthcare Improvement Scotland, has made this short video to explain the importance of care planning conversations for those most vulnerable to coronavirus infection.

Paul says: “I have been calling my highest risk patients to talk about the plans we should make, in case they become ill with COVID-19.  A call with someone from your GP practice will help to identify what matters to you. By talking together you can develop a personal plan which can be shared with other services like Out of Hours Care and NHS24. This will help you get the right care if you become ill.
