APPOINTMENTS INFORMATION

Please help us by getting the right care from the right place by:

• Searching NHSInform.scot for self-help advice on common symptoms and a guide to local services and opening times.
  
• Visiting your local Pharmacy first to help treat minor illnesses, many can provide consultations without an appointment and prescribe medicines previously only available from the GP.
  
• Calling the GP practice for routine or urgent care during the normal opening hours.
  
• Contacting your dentist for any dental problems or an optician for any eye problems.
  
• Calling 111, day or night, for minor injuries advice and treatment, or for urgent care when your GP or dental practice is closed.
  
• Dialling 999 or attend A&E ONLY in a critical emergency.

You will be aware from the media and other sources that the NHS is facing unprecedented demand for services across all areas. Primary Care is no different. As we have come out of the COVID pandemic, we have consistently reviewed our overall service provision for our (Sighthill Green) 10,400 patients. This has included an upgrade to the telephone systems in an attempt to meet the incoming telephone call demand.
