We've Improved How You Book GP Appointments at Peterhead Health Centre

Starting 30th June, we’re introducing an improved triage-based system for all GP appointment requests — designed to help us deliver faster and more effective care.

When you call, our Reception Team will ask for some details about your concern to pass on to a GP who will then review this information and decide the most appropriate next step. This will be your own GP where possible.

Everything you share is completely confidential, and our Reception Team follows guidance from our Doctors every step of the way.

So from the 30th of June, when you call, we kindly ask for your patience to answer a few questions to help us help you.

Thank you for your understanding

During the month of April we had 67 hours worth of appointments missed, which is very disappointing.

Whilst acknowledging the occurrence of unforeseen circumstances, unattended appointments contribute significantly to reduced appointment availability and increased waiting times. This ultimately impairs system efficiency and the delivery of timely and effective patient care.

We therefore ask for your assistance in attempting to reduce the number of unattended appointments please:

1. Should you feel your appointment is no longer required, please inform the health centre to allow this time to be offered to someone else.
2. In the event of unforeseen circumstances, please inform the health centre at your earliest convenience to reschedule your appointment and allow us to offer your cancellation to someone else.
