We are very sorry for the inconvenience.

Our servers are still down. An Open Reach engineer is attending this morning and we hope to have this resolved. For anything urgent, but not life threatening, we will pass the details to the GP. For any emergencies, please call 999. Thank you.

Unfortunately our systems are currently down so we are unable to access any patient information or provide prescriptions. The IT department are aware and have contacted BT in relation to this. We hope to have this resolved as soon as possible. Thanks for your patience!

📢 Changes to Our Appointment System 📢

We’re making some important updates to the way appointments are booked at our practice.

These changes are being introduced to make sure that emergency appointments are available for those who truly need them, and to help avoid the 8 am rush.

By reducing inappropriate use of urgent slots, we can ensure patients with genuine medical needs are seen promptly and our clinical team can continue providing safe, high-quality care for everyone.

We appreciate your understanding and support as we make these changes. Thank you for helping us care for our whole community.

Important Patient Update – Temporary Changes to Our GP Availability

We want to let our patients know that, until mid-May, our practice is currently operating with only one GP Partner while we await the arrival of our new GP, Dr Anne McKeown.

During this time, we are prioritising urgent and medically necessary cases. Routine matters such as prescription requests and non-urgent appointments may take a little longer than usual. We understand this may cause some inconvenience, and we truly appreciate your patience and understanding.

We do have some excellent locum GPs supporting us during this period, but we know it’s not quite the same as having our full team in place. Please bear with us—we’re doing everything we can to continue providing safe and effective care.

Thank you for your support.

A reminder to everyone for the Self Directed Support Session tomorrow evening (Weds 2nd April) at Strathard Hub 6pm. Come and find out more, bring your questions and help us build understanding across our community about how the system works. All welcome

12/03/2025

The Practice will be closed from 1pm today for staff training. If you are unwell and cannot wait until we reopen at 8am, please call 01324 566 610 for assistance. Thank you.
