Noticeboard


COVID/FLU VACCINE CLINICS



These vaccinations are now co-ordinated and carried out by the NHS Scotland Vaccinations Team. To find out if you're eligible, and to book an appointment, go onto NHS Inform/Winter Vaccines. If patients are unable to go online, they can phone 0800 030 8013 to book.



Please do not contact the surgery regarding these vaccinations because General Practices are no longer doing vaccines, and our receptionists and clinicians will be unable to answer your questions, thank you.

Appointments

Routine Appointments

All consultations are by appointment.  These can be booked in person or by phone during Health Centre opening hours which are Monday – Friday 8am – 6pm.  Appointments can be made for any member of the clinical staff.  An appointment can normally be offered within 48 hours but a longer delay may be required if an appointment with a specific doctor is requested.  There is also an evening surgery which runs from 6pm – 7.30pm twice monthly for people who work and cannot attend during the day. The surgery number is 01880 820 219.

Sometimes an appointment with the advanced nurse practitioner or healthcare assistant is more appropriate than with a doctor. It is helpful to provide the receptionist with some information about the nature of the problem to assist them to offer the best option.

Urgent Appointments

If you feel you need to be seen on the same day, either in the surgery or at home please phone the surgery as early in the day as possible. Daily “same day” appointments are available with the advanced nurse practitioner and daily urgent 5 minute appointments are available with doctors.

Medical Emergencies

In the event of an emergency, for example severe chest pain, collapse, suspected stroke, the best way to access urgent attention is by dialling 999 for an ambulance. 

Cancelling Appointments

If you are unable to attend for a booked appointment, please let the surgery know as soon as possible to allow this appointment to be given to someone else. 

Telephone Contact

Telephone Consultations are available by appointment. To arrange this please phone and book a time at which the doctor will call you back. 

E Mail Contact

We are happy for patients to contact us by email: nhsh.tarbertmedicalpractice@nhs.scot if they wish to discuss an administrative or medical matter. Incoming emails are checked regularly throughout the working day but this is not a good method of communication for urgent matters.
