Changes to the collection of voluntary authorisation for organ or tissue donation

Patients that register with a Medical Practice have been able to provide their voluntary authorisation for organ or tissue donation when completing the patient registration form.
The introduction of the new GPR earlier this year removed the necessity to collect patient’s preferences following the recent changes in Organ Donation law in Scotland.
Any patient wishing to opt out of organ donation and record their wishes should do so directly through Organ Donation Scotland at https://www.organdonationscotland.org/

Medication

For all our patients on repeat medication, please remember to check how much you have, and if you will run out around the holiday periods/practice closure dates, please submit your repeat request in plenty of time for us to action.

Be aware, that our standard turnaround time for prescription requests (48 hours) only counts WORKING DAYS, so we will not be processing any repeat prescription during days when we are closed.

General Data Protection Regulations

The GDPR Regulations come into effect on the 25th May 2018.  The aim of the regulations is to provide greater levels of protection in relation to personal information.  Please refer to the Practice Privacy Policy for more information.

Duty of Candour

The practice is required to comply with the duty of candour legislation.  This involves providing an annual return to the Scottish Government, a copy of which can be obtained by speaking with the Practice Manager.

Trying to get an appointment?  - 400 appointments on average each 3 months

Every three months we lose around 400 appointments as patients book them but then fail to show up without letting us know they wish to cancel.  This is a staggering 7 weeks of GP and Nurse time over the course of a year.   Help us to help you.  Your unwanted appointment could be used by someone else if you let us know.  Please protect your NHS and use its services wisely.
