Our practice is currently experiencing exceptionally high demand for urgent care. To protect the safety of our patients and staff, we are unable to take on any further urgent requests today.

We understand this may be frustrating and apologise for the inconvenience. If you have an urgent medical problem that cannot wait until we re-open tomorrow at 8am, please attend your nearest Accident & Emergency department if necessary.

Thank you for your understanding and support in helping us keep services safe for everyone.

📢 Announcement – Dr King’s Retirement

After more than 30 years of dedicated service, we wish to let our patients know that Dr King will be retiring from Tillicoultry Medical Practice on 31st December 2025.

Dr King first joined the practice in 1992, and over the years has become a much loved and trusted GP for so many in our community. We know he is a favourite with many of our patients and will be greatly missed.

To help celebrate his incredible contribution, we have placed a memory book at reception. Patients are warmly invited to write down their stories, memories, or well wishes for Dr King. The book will remain open until 21st December 2025, after which we will present it to him as a keepsake.

We’re sure you’ll join us in thanking Dr King for his outstanding care and commitment, and in wishing him a very happy and well-earned retirement. 💙

💚 Supporting Our Community Together 💚

We’re proud to support Tillicoultry Community Larder and all the amazing work they do for local people.

Here’s just some of the support available through the Larder:

✔️ Change Grow Live workers attend weekly to support anyone needing help with addictions.
✔️ A Council Digital Support Worker is on hand to help with filling in benefits forms and other online applications.
✔️ Occasional visits from Citizens Advice Community workers and the CAP Debt Relief charity.
✔️ A chance to enjoy a free cuppa and a chat, helping to reduce loneliness in our community.

🎄 And with Christmas approaching, preparations will soon begin for their Christmas Hampers – last year, they put together 50+ hampers of food and treats for anyone in the community who needed one. Nominations can be made by individuals themselves or via schools, social work, and other local organisations.

👏 Thank you to everyone involved for making such a difference in Tillicoultry.
