Congratulations to our Practice Receptionist Emma on the birth of her adorable baby boy 🩵

Emma popped in yesterday for a visit and we were all smitten with little Callan.

Whilst we are missing Emma’s fun and laughter (and singing!) within the team, we send her lots of good wishes for this special time with her new baby.

🌞 SUN SAFETY 🌞

Over the next few days, the weather in Ayrshire is to be hot hot hot and the ultraviolet rays are to be high.

In the UK, the sun’s UV rays are the strongest between 11am and 3pm. During this time, the sun may be strong enough to cause skin damage. Take extra care to protect your skin, especially if you get sunburnt easily by:

Spending time in the shade, especially between 11am and 3pm in the UK, covering up with loose-fitting clothes, a wide-brimmed hat and wraparound sunglasses and using a sunscreen with at least SPF30. Use it generously, reapply regularly and use in combination with shade and clothing.

Enjoy the sun but be careful ☀️

Congratulations to two of our medical students who graduated at the weekend. 👏 🌟 🎉

Drs Thomson and Roy were among the first cohort of doctors to qualify by studying part-time at Edinburgh University.

Barns are privileged to have been part of the ground breaking program which encourages professionals from other areas of healthcare to study to become a doctor, with a specific focus on General Practice.

Good luck James and Karishma on your ongoing journey. We may even see you back at Barns at some point!
