Due to recent increase in COVID-19 cases locally we have had to make further changes to how the surgery operates in order to help protect both patients and staff. This includes :
Attending the practice
- Do not come to the practice if you have any of the COVID-19 symptoms
- You must only attend the practice if you spoken to a member of staff first and have been asked to attend
- If you have an appointment you should plan to arrive just in time for your appointment starting. This is to limit the number of people in our waiting room
- You must wear a face covering
- When you arrive at the practice you should press the buzzer or phone reception from your mobile (0141 776 2468). Give your name and purpose of your visit. A member of staff will allow you access to the building after checking your temperature. Please remember to maintain your distance
- We have a one way system in place
- Entry to the practice is now via the side door (to the left of the main sliding doors at the entrance Kirkintilloch Health Care Centre)
- When exiting the practice you will be sign posted to use the fire exit directly in to the car park
Abusive Behaviour
Unfortunately our staff have experienced a significant increase in the amount of aggressive behaviour towards them during phone calls with patients. This will not be tolerated and as such staff have a right to end a call. Patients may also be removed from our list.
Prescriptions
- All prescriptions will be sent to your nominated pharmacy
- Please remember that all prescription requests will take 2 workings days to process. Please make sure you order your prescriptions in time to allow for this
Fit Notes
- You can choose to either collect these from the door in to the practice, or have them posted to you
