We are now in the transition period to our new clinical system. Our system is effectively down between now and Wednesday 4th March during which time we can only deal with genuine medical emergencies.

For routine appointments please call us on 4th March. Our appointments book will re-open to routine booking at 8.30am.

For test results please call on 4th March. We will be unable to access or process any lab results before then.

For anyone who finds themselves running out of regular repeat prescriptions, please discuss this with your usual local pharmacy in the first instance before approaching the practice. We will be unable to issue any repeat medication, excepting controlled drugs, before Wednesday 4th March at the very earliest. Your usual community pharmacy can often issue an emergency supply if you have run out of regular medication.

For all other non-urgent queries, please contact us from Wednesday 4th March.

We expect our phone lines to be exceptionally busy on 4th March due to patients looking for routine appointments, coupled with our staff learning and getting used to a completely new system. We ask you to bear with us and be mindful of this whilst queuing to get through to us. If the phone lines are busy please consider calling back later in the day. As always you will be notified of your queue position and we have additional staff working on 4th March to deal with your calls.

We additionally thank you for your patience once we go live with our new system. All of the staff will be learning this new system together. Please bear with us whilst we do this! We aren’t pretending it’s going to be easy…..! Thank you.

💗 Cervical Screening in Scotland Saves Lives 💗

Cervical screening is a vital part of women’s healthcare in Scotland. Through NHS Scotland, screening helps prevent cervical cancer by finding changes in cervical cells before cancer can develop.

🩺 If you’re aged 25–64 and registered with a GP in Scotland, you’ll be invited for cervical screening every 5 years.

Cervical screening now tests for HPV (human papillomavirus), which causes most cervical cancers. If HPV isn’t found, your risk of cervical cancer is very low.

The test is usually quick and done by a trained nurse. It can feel uncomfortable or embarrassing, but support is always available — you can ask questions, request a chaperone, or talk through any concerns beforehand.

💬 If you’ve received your NHS Scotland invitation, please don’t ignore it. Attending screening could save your life.

📣 Let’s normalise talking about cervical screening and encourage friends, sisters, mums and colleagues to attend their appointments.

If you would like to make an appointment to simply discuss cervical screening, what it entails, what your worries or fears are, and what can be done to make it more relaxing for you, please make an appointment with the Practice Nurses. There’s no obligation to have your smear test done at this appointment. We will be happy to chat you through everything and make a further appointment to have the test carried out if you wish.

Please contact the practice on 01259 760331.
If you feel it would benefit you, please ask the receptionist for a longer appointment to give you enough time to chat with our nursing team and so you don’t feel pressured.

Let’s work together to help save lives. 💗
