** PHONE LINES NOT CONNECTING **

Dear patients, we are currently having problems with incoming calls not connecting. NHS Borders estates department are aware of the problem and will hopefully rectify the situation as possible. In the meantime, if you need to book an appointment, please attend reception directly.

Dear Patients,

Please see attached information regarding Practice opening times for the upcoming festive period.

Between the week between Christmas and New Year, we will be mainly providing appointments for urgent/on the day matters in order to ensure that anyone who needs to be seen, is able to get an appointment. For less urgent matters, we would appreciate if you could try to wait until the New Year to book.

We will return to normal opening hours Monday 5th January 2026

Wishing you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year when it comes, from all Medical Practice 🎄🎅

Dear patients

As winter is setting in, we are seeing an increasing number of emergency presentations, including patients with acute chest pains, suspected strokes and sepsis.

Whilst we will endeavour to treat all patients appropriately and in a timely manner, we are not an emergency department and do not have the resources or staffing of an acute hospital.

Please consider carefully whether the GP surgery is the most appropriate place for your problem before attending.

IMPORTANT UPDATE

Dear patients,

Community Treatment and Care (CTAC)

We are writing to inform you of upcoming changes to the CTAC / Treatment room booking service.

Please note this is a Scottish Government Initiative that has already been brought in all over Scotland and which is now being rolled out across NHS Borders.

From Monday 29th September 2025, patients will no longer be able to book appointments via Eyemouth Medical Practice / Day Hospital reception and will instead need to contact the NHS Borders Centralised booking hub to arrange appointments.

Services affected will include
• Wound care and dressings
• All blood tests
• B12 injections and other routine injections
• ECGs and blood pressure checks
• Some other routine procedures

To arrange an appointment from this date forward, please call Central Booking Hub on 01896 809 250 Monday to Friday 0800 to 1700hrs.

Day Hospital reception will continue to offer assistance, where they can, to those who are most vulnerable or unable to arrange appointments via telephone.
For more information, please go to

******IMPORTANT PATIENT INFORMATION******
ESSENTIAL COMPUTER SYSTEM UPGRADE - WEDNESDAY 3RD SEPTEMBER

We are due to have essential work carried out to upgrade to a new clinical server. This work unfortunately needs to be carried out during normal working hours and could not be scheduled after hours or at the weekend. We would like to provide some information to minimise disruption to services as much as possible.

APPOINTMENTS:- We will operate a limited “urgent on the day” service only on: WEDNESDAY 3RD SEPTEMBER 2025

During the period of the change over there will be limited, or no, access to computerised records and we will be reverting to a manual appointment system. This is to enable a new computer server to be installed. During this period there will be NO advanced booking of appointments and limited, or no, computerised information will be available.

To ease the transition to the new system it would help us if patients requiring routine non-urgent appointments avoided requesting appointments during this period.

Patients requiring urgent attention or advice should contact the Practice as normal. Patients who attend the Practice may experience longer waiting times and we apologise for this.

HOME VISITS:- There will be no change to our procedure for requesting home visits.

REPEAT PRESCRIPTIONS:- Please order repeat prescriptions in the usual way. There may be a delay in processing the prescription so please allow extra time for this.

RESULTS:- We will have limited access to test results during the upgrade period. So please call us on the next working day.

Your co-operation at this time will be very much appreciated.

Just a reminder that the surgery will be closed tomorrow (Monday 21st April) for the NHS Borders public holiday. We will open again as normal on Tuesday morning.

If you require medical attention in the meantime, please contact NHS24 who will direct you to an appropriate clinician, or 999 in the event of a life threatening emergency.
