Hi folks,

Our next Angus Adult Support Group takes place next Tuesday, September 2nd, from 6pm-8pm at Forfar Reid Hall, Castle Street, Forfar, Angus, DD8 3HX - we are situated in the Lesser Hall.

As ever our ADHD Coach and Family Support Team will be on hand to lead general discussion around ADHD and to answer any questions you may have.

This is a peer-to-peer walk-in group aimed at adults that are diagnosed and undiagnosed with ADHD where you are welcome to attend without need of appointment.

We look forward to seeing you there.

Our Emergency Departments (EDs) are seeing an increase in people attending for minor illnesses or injuries which would be better dealt with by other services, such as GPs, NHS 24 (111), pharmacies or minor injury and illness units.

If you come to the ED with a minor injury or illness you will be redirected to a more appropriate service.

Please help keep our EDs free for people who really need them, and save yourself a trip by making sure you get the right care in the right place, first time.

Visit www.rightcaretayside.scot.nhs.uk for more information.

About Academy Medical Centre

Academy Medical Centre is one of the largest practices in Tayside with approximately 10,000 patients on our list.

We have a full complement of practice and attached community health staff operating from our modern, custom built premises. We have three GP Partners, assisted by a team of nurses and healthcare assistants. You can choose to see the doctor of your choice. We encourage continuity of care (seeing the same doctor) where possible.

The practice is fully computerised including an integrated appointment system and online patient services, and offers a wide range of clinics and services to patients. Patients' needs are at the heart of everything we do.

Of course we're not just here for when you are unwell. Our team of healthcare professionals and back-up staff promote good health and well being whatever your medical condition.
