Coming soon to Bishopton Medical Practice…

The Bolerno Centre/building which is located in Dargavel Village near the railway station and shopping centre. It will provide additional rooms for Bishopton Medical Practice. We will continue as one united practice and will see patients at both the current health centre in Bishopton aswell as the new building. Patients living within the PA7 postcode from either Bishopton or Dargavel will be eligible to be seen in either building. Our current doctors, nursing staff and reception staff will be in a rota to work from both buildings.

Initially, there will be one doctor and one member of the nursing team and one receptionist at the Bolerno Centre/Building each day with other HSCP clinics and staff bases incorporated later eg Health Visitors, District Nurses (further details to follow).

Our telephone booking system and clinical admin team will remain at the current health centre, as will our duty doctors, who deal with the on the day emergency triage appointments. Emergency appointments will not be available at the Bolerno Centre/Building.

When booking appointments once the Bolerno Centre opens, the reception team will notify you if your appointment will be at the current health centre or the Bolerno Centre at the time of booking. If you are signed up for our text reminder service, the text messages will note if your appointment is at Bishopton Health Centre / Building on the rugby pitch side of the railway, or the Bolerno Centre/Building in Dargavel.

Both Reception desks will be open Monday to Friday 8.30-6pm, but closed from 12.30-1.30pm each day. Registration forms and prescription requests can be dropped off at both sites during opening hours. Specimen samples can also be dropped off at both sites ideally before 11.30 in the morning, unless otherwise instructed. Any other documents will be required to be dropped off at our current health centre where our clinical admin team are based.

Please be patient during the opening period, to allow us time to adapt to these changes. Many Thanks BMP
