How do I request a House Call ?

These are for people who are too ill or frail to attend the Practice. If you are unable to come to the Surgery, please call 0141 776 2468. You must give the receptionist as much information as you can, this is very helpful to the Doctor so he/she can assess the nature of your condition. The receptionist will pass these details to the Doctor who is on call. The Doctor will then contact you to discuss your request. It is important that you give the receptionist your contact number.

Please help us by requesting any house calls before 10am.

Can two or more people use one appointment to see the Doctor?

No, when you arrange your appointment it is only for you, if you wish an appointment for another family member you must ask for another appointment to see the Doctor.

What happens if I am late for my appointment with the Doctor or Nurse?

If you are more then 10 minutes late, you may be required to make another appointment to be seen.

How do I request information regarding my vaccinations?

Please request this in writing, and address this to the Practice Nurse.  Clerical staff are not permitted to provide this information as they are not qualified to provide a detailed vaccination history for you. It can normally take three working days to complete your request. Requests must be submitted in writing, so we have a signed request by you for our records. For medico-legal  reasons e-mail requests are not accepted.

How long must I wait for my Prescription?

Your repeat prescription will be available for collection after three full working days. For example requests made after 6pm, weekends or a public holiday, are actioned by the staff on the next working day, i.e ordered Saturday, next working day Monday, your prescription will be ready by Thursday.

Can I request medication that is not on my repeat list?

Yes, please do so using the same methods as you would for a Repeat Prescription request. The GP will check your request and if approved your prescription will be ready for uplift at the same time as your Repeat medication. If this has not been approved then the receptionist will let you know when you uplift your repeat items, or you maybe contacted by the staff. If your request has not been approved, the Doctor may ask you to arrange an appointment to see him/her to discuss your request further.
