Noticeboard

Due to Covid 19 and the need to reduce footfall into our surgeries, all appointment requests are being triaged by our clinical staff.  If they feel that your symptoms need further examination, you will be given a time to attend the surgery.  If you have a rash, changing mole or other skin complaint you could e-mail a picture to our clinical mailbox (dg.gpclin.Y18343@nhs.scot) in the first instance along with contact details.  These will be forwarded to the GP who will call you to discuss your symptoms.
