✅ Have Your Say: Review of Services at Your GP Practice ✅

We’re asking patients across Grampian to share feedback on six key services available at or through GP practices.

There are 68 GP Practices in Grampian – most are independent businesses, though they hold NHS contracts to provide care. We want to hear about your experience with services that help GPs focus on complex or urgent needs while other skilled clinicians support a wide range of health concerns.

🩺 The six services are:

1️⃣ Community Link Workers – support with housing, money worries, social issues, and wellbeing (including mental health support in Moray).

2️⃣ Community Treatment & Care Services (CTAC) – blood tests, blood pressure checks, wound care, ECGs, ear care, stitch removal, PICC line and catheter care.

3️⃣ Physiotherapy (First Contact Practitioner) – help with joint and muscle pain.

4️⃣ Practice Pharmacy Teams – medication reviews and advice.

5️⃣ Vaccinations – routine and seasonal immunisations.

6️⃣ Urgent Care Service – home visits for medical care or help managing daily activities at home.

📍 Services may vary by practice and might be called something different in your area.

💬 Your feedback matters!

Tell us what’s working well and what could be improved. We’ll share a summary with your GP Practice so they can keep patients informed.

Thank you for helping us improve patient care across Grampian!

🌟 𝗔 𝗙𝗢𝗡𝗗 𝗙𝗔𝗥𝗘𝗪𝗘𝗟𝗟 𝗧𝗢 𝗔𝗡𝗡𝗘 𝗕𝗔𝗜𝗡 🌟

After nearly 25 years of dedicated service, Anne will be retiring from Crimond Medical Centre on Friday, 28th November 2025.

Although we’ve known this day was coming, it’s still hard to imagine Crimond without her. Anne has been such a vital part of our team for so long, and her presence has truly shaped the heart of the practice.

To our patients and staff alike, Anne has been more than a colleague—she’s been part of the very soul of Crimond. Her warmth, quick wit, and mischievous humour have brightened countless days. Her deep local knowledge and insight into all things Crimond have been truly invaluable.

Anne will be deeply missed, both professionally and personally. We wish her all the happiness and relaxation she deserves in her well-earned retirement. 💐

Please join us in celebrating Anne and all she’s given to our community over the years.
