Lour Road Group Practice

25/11/2025

GP Practices throughout Tayside are committed to providing patients with the highest quality care. They participate in a number of Protected Learning Time (PLT) sessions throughout the year which allows them to provide access to training for the whole practice team.
Most GP Practices throughout Tayside, including ourselves, will be closed for routine appointments between 1-6pm on Wednesday 26th November to take part in PLT sessions. Please be assured, access to urgent care for patients will continue throughout this time.
During those hours on Wednesday 26th November, the Surgery will continue to be contactable by telephone to access urgent care which cannot wait until the practice reopens the following morning.
GP surgeries will resume their usual working hours again on Thursday 27th November.

Telephone befriending is a vital service for the community of Angus.

Our volunteer befrienders support around 120 people living in Angus each week, by calling them, having a chat and ensuring they are well and managing. Our Telephone Befriender Co-ordinator supports all befrienders and also ensures that befrienders and befriendees are suitably matched based on common interests.

Do you live in Angus? Are you feeling lonely, isolated or looking to have a chat? A conversation with one of our telephone befrienders could positively impact your mental wellbeing.

If you, or someone you know, would benefit from our telephone befriending service, email april@voluntrayactionangus.org.uk or call 01307 466113.

🚶👩‍🦽👩‍👦‍👦Here is our Healthy Steps Programme of walks for next week, please do come and get involved. We hope there is something for everyone.
😀All walks are FREE with no prebooking required.
😄Health Walks are open to all adults (and accompanied children) and are sociable and leisurely. All groups have route options for wheeling and walking. We enjoy a lovely cuppy and chat after our walks. Come alone (as most of our walkers do) or with friends/family.
👶👧Buggy Walks are a great way for parents/carers to meet others, while enjoying a leisurely walk. Don't be put off joining us if you also have other kids on school holidays-bring them along and we will adapt the walk to suit. We had a lovely time collecting 'conkers' on our Buggy Walk today😉.
See you next week?
