***UPDATE - THE TECHNICAL IS NOW FIXED AND ECONSULT IS WORKING AS USUAL*** - THANKS FOR YOUR PATIENCE.

Unfortunately our eConsult system is not working today due to a technical issue. You can still telephone the practice and the staff will fill out the eConsult form on your behalf. We apologise for any inconvenience this unforseen issue may cause.

Just a reminder about our IT system update tomorrow. 🤞Hopefully all will go well and our systems won't be down for too long but please be aware that there may be delays in responding to eConsults tomorrow.

Thank you for your patience.

📢📢On Thursday 21st May, the practice will be upgrading its IT system. We may have limited access to our computers at the start of the working day and will therefore be prioritising emergency requests only between 8:00am and 10:30am.

eConsult requests can still be submitted in the usual way, but please be aware that it may take a little longer for GPs to respond.

We thank you for your patience and understanding while the upgrade is ongoing.

It seems that some patients are having a bit of trouble with ordering their prescriptions and using eConsult since the introduction of our new website. We have been in touch with the website providers and they have said this may be due to patients still using old links that are stored on their browsers and this is trying to connect to the old website which is no longer available.

Please delete any previously saved links from your browser and just type www.tainandfearn.co.uk only or click on the link below and navigate to the eConsult or Prescription section.

Thanks.

PRESCRIPTIONS – To order your prescription online, click on the Prescriptions link at the top of the page, then select the link in the Ordering Repeat Prescriptions section.

In Scotland, all young people are offered the MenACWY vaccine in secondary school (S3).
If you’re under 25 and haven’t had it yet, there’s still time. Contact your local immunisation team to book your appointment: nhsinform.scot/gettingvaccinations

Remember, the MenACWY vaccine protects against some types of meningitis, but not all, so it’s still important to know the signs and symptoms.
