Appointments

Routine appointments are available every day in the morning and afternoon. Medical emergency appointments are also available every day in the morning and afternoon.

If you need an urgent appointment you will be seen as soon as possible that day. Please help the receptionists by telling them whether or not your problem is urgent.

The surgery is open continuously from 8.00am-6.00pm for telephone calls, open to personal callers between 8.30am-12.30pm and 1.30pm-6.00pm. Doctors are usually available for telephone advice (0141 644 2666) daily. Practice Nurses are also available for telephone advice (0141 644 2666) every day.

The GPs consult between 9.00-11.00am and 2.00-6.00pm. If you have not been seen at the surgery for three years (or one year for those over 75) you can request a check-up appointment if you wish.

Home Visits

Requests for home visits should be made before 10am.

House visits are only available for those patients who are housebound because of illness or disability or at the discretion of the doctor. Arrangements for these can be made with reception staff, please let staff know if you require urgent attention. A Doctor or Nurse may telephone you back as it may be that your problem can be dealt with by telephone advice, or that it would be more appropriate to send a nurse, or indeed arrange a hospital attendance.
