On 21 June 2012 there is to be a day of industrial action by doctors represented by the BMA. The doctors at the Barony Practidce support the action, but do not wish to disadvantage patients.

In the continuing interest of improving patient experience at the practice, we now have a page at Patient Opinion (http://www.patientopinion.org.uk/services/sgp87606) where you can leave both positive and negative comments about your experiences of the practice.
Patient Opinion is a website that gives service users and carers a way of voicing what they think of the services they receive. Your story will be handled confidentially by the non-profit service Patient Opinion. Your story may appear (without your name) on their website. Patient Opinion asks the health service to respond to the feedback you share, but does not reveal your identity.
This service is independent of the Barony Practice and the NHS. For more information about Patient Opinion and how your story is handled, visit www.patientopinion.org.uk.
