Appointment Changes (2019)

Please note this has been superseded in 2021, which can be read here.

From 11th March 2019

We have listened to your feedback and are
changing our GP appointment system.

Changes:

  • Option to prebook GP appointments up
    to 2 weeks in advance
  • Make GP on the day appointments
    without speaking to a GP first
  • Have more GP appointments available

Staff will still require some information
regarding your call with a brief description of
what is wrong. They can then direct you to
the appropriate services.

In order to provide more appointments, the
GPs will be less available to speak to you
over the phone, but will still have some
phone appointments available.

The practice’s extended opening hours are now on Mondays, from 7.25am -8.30am (excluding public holidays).

NHS24 Has a New Number: 111

Please note that NHS 24’s new number has changed to 111. For more information you can read the quoted information below, or get more information from the NHS 24 website.

From 29th April, people across Scotland will be able to access NHS 24 out of hours care and information by calling 111.

Why change the number?

The change is a result of patient feedback. We were aware that some callers found the old number difficult to remember while others were unsure of how much their call would cost.

We decided to address these concerns by introducing a new easy to remember number that is free to call.

Will anything else change?

No, NHS 24 will continue to provide the same range of out of hours care and information to callers across Scotland.

How will it benefit me?

The new number will ensure that people across Scotland can access the service, whether via a landline or mobile phone free of charge, using a number that is short and easy to remember.

What about the old number?

Don’t worry if you call the old number (08454 24 24 24) by accident, as this will still be active for a limited period. The old number will eventually be phased out in due course.

For more information on contacting NHS 24 please read our leaflet: If it can’t wait until your GP surgery reopens (PDF 339KB).
