Thank You!

We would like to thank you for your ongoing patience, tolerance and understanding while the practice team complies with the NHS Scottish Government guidelines.

We know how difficult it can sometimes be to get through to the practice.

Our practice population is very large, and we try to deal with the high demand as best we can each day. 

We're here to help you. It is important that our staff are treated with respect, in the same way, that we respect our patients. Aggressive or threatening behaviour directed towards our staff will not be tolerated under any circumstances and anyone who is verbally abusive to staff may be removed from the practice list.

Again, we thank you for your continued support.
