Extended Opening Hours

Please note service is temporarily suspended.

EXTENDED SURGERY HOURS – 7.00am to 8.00am & 6.00pm to 7.00pm

  • We offer early morning and late evening extended surgeries with a doctor (there is no access to nurse or blood appointments during these surgeries)
  • These surgeries are intended for patients who have difficulty attending a routine appointment within normal surgery hours due to, for example, work commitments or early/late commuting times
  • Surgeries can vary from week to week and appointments are normally bookable one to two weeks in advance so please contact the surgery and speak to one of our reception staff for more details
  • Please only come to the health centre during these times if you have a booked appointment.

If you are in urgent need of medical attention outwith normal surgery hours (before 8am or after 6pm) please contact the Out of Hours service by dialling 111 or in extreme cases, call an ambulance.

Extended access service

The aim of the service is to offer a greater range of appointments for routine problems. The types of problems that can be seen by the extended access service are similar to those that can be pre-booked during normal working hours.

This service is for routine medical conditions and is not an emergency service. The service is limited where doctors will be restricted in their physical examination of patients, and scope to arrange investigation. (This is because of the absence of practice nursing/ treatment room services and lab service back-up which the Scottish Government has decided not to fund).

Patients will therefore not be able to have blood tests, smear tests or an intimate examination requiring assistance from a chaperone, any chronic disease management review, or dressings or ear syringing, but will have to return for a day-time appointment if these services are required. Young children and the elderly who require to be brought to the surgery by working family members will also be welcome to these appointments.

If you become unwell after 6:00pm please call NHS 24 as usual – 111
