North Berwick Group Practice

In line with NHS procedures, the surgery will start sending out our Annual Review invites via text message this month instead of by letter.

If you are living with Diabetes, Hypertension, Heart Disease, Thyroid conditions, Respiratory conditions, Chronic Kidney Disease or have had a TIA or previous stroke you will receive an annual review invite to make an appointment with a Practice Nurse on your birthday month.

Please call us any week day after 11 am to make these appointments.

If you do not wish to receive these invites via text message or at all then please inform our Practice Manager in writing. Please note that if you decline consent for these text message invites we will be unable to contact you by text message for any other reason, eg appointment reminders.

If you are unable to receive text messages but would still like an invite we can continue to send your invite via post.

We really hope that as many of our patients as possible will embrace this change so we can move towards a paperless environment and save the NHS valuable money.

Thanks all.

We are incredibly proud of our midwife Lucy Duns who won the Midwife award at the Scottish Health Awards last night. Congratulations Lucy, the best there is and very well deserved.

We look forward to seeing these amazing works of art. Leuchie is a fantastic charity providing invaluable support and resources to those living with neurological conditions and we are priviledged to have them on our doorstep.

⭐️Our Leuchie Lighthouse Trail will see fifteen 8ft lighthouses light up the streets and open spaces of North Berwick for ten weeks in Summer 2026! ⭐️

All ending with a grand auction where each lighthouse will be sold to the highest bidder, raising much-needed funds for people living with neurological conditions and their families💕.

🎨 If you are an artist, then visit leuchie.org.uk/lighthouse-trail to register your interest in designing a lighthouse

🙏 Interested in volunteering and helping to make the Lighthouse Trail one to remember? Email matt@leuchie.org.uk

Great opportunity for our youngsters.

Calling all 13-15 year olds!
We're launching Surf Life Saving GB's Graduate Lifeguard Programme!
(Okay we understand that most 13-15 year olds aren't on facebook these days, so please pass this on). Register your interest via 🔗 in comments

The Graduate Lifeguard Programme is a 3 year programme for 13 – 15 year olds, teaching and embedding not only lifeguard skills and techniques but important skills and attitudes that support future opportunities both in education and employment.

We've opened an "interest list" so that we can work out the logistics of the sessions.
Initially places on the programme will be limited to 12 due to volunteer numbers.
Places will be randomly assigned. If there are more than 12 interested, a wait list will then be created.

If you're an adult willing to volunteer your time to enable the programme to run, please get in touch (info.nbslsc@gmail.com), and spread the word!
