Enhanced Services RETURN to GP Practices

In December 2023 NHS Highland ceased contracts with GP Practices to deliver various additional 'enhanced' services. Since then, after a great amount of negation NHS Highland has offered a new contract to all GP Practices across the whole of Highland.

We are pleased to inform you that Riverside Highland Medical Group has agreed and signed up to this new contract, allowing all services to return to the Practice and will resume with immediate effect.

This includes the likes of Minor Surgery, Diabetes management, Contraceptive coils and implants and blood testing for those on high risk medication.

At the rural sites, a Minor Injury service will also be in operation, reducing the need to attend Emergency Departments.

We know it has been a challenging time for our patients and staff but we are pleased we will now be able to continue providing these vital services to our population.
