🌟 Meet Our Advanced Nurse Practitioners 🌟

Ever wondered what an Advanced Nurse Practitioner (ANP) does?

In NHS Scotland, ANPs are highly trained nurses who can assess, diagnose and treat many health conditions — often just like a GP. They can examine symptoms, order tests, prescribe medication and refer you to other services when needed.

They're here to make sure you get the right care, at the right time 💙

We’re lucky to have Fiona, Anne, Melissa and Julie as our ANPs at the practice. They bring advanced skills, experience and a friendly approach to patient care.

🎥 Check out our short video to learn more about how ANPs support you!

Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.

‼Patient Notice - Triage Closed‼

The practice is currently experiencing unmanageable demand for urgent care. Due to clinical staff shortage and taking account of our practice team’s safety, and the availability of other options for patient care, we are not able to book in any more on the day appointment patients today and our triage is closed.

We are still open for routine inquiries.

We are sorry for this inconvenience, which is beyond our control.
We are following the BMA safe working guidance.
If you have an urgent medical problem that you believe cannot wait, then you should seek help from other NHS agencies including NHS24 on 111 after 6pm or through accident and emergency if you feel needs assessment sooner
