Services provided

The practice offers ‘General Medical Services’ as well as a number of ‘Enhanced Services’. We run a series of nurse led clinics dealing with chronic conditions, as well as cervical screening, sexual & reproductive health and a travel health service. In addition, we provide an annual flu-vaccination programme, blood and urine monitoring for patients on drugs for arthritis and bowel disease, a Gold Standards Framework palliative care programme and a Methadone Shared Care programme for drug dependent patients. Please see Our clinics for further information.

Physiotherapy, mental health, podiatry and X-ray services are available in the wider health centre.

We are proud to be a teaching practice.

For some years, we have helped train medical students from Glasgow University. More recently, we have also begun training young doctors. Dr Fleming is our principal Educational Supervisor and Dr Tennick is now accredited too. We were delighted to welcome Dr Emily Pringle back to the practice in August 2017. Dr Pringle will be with us for one year as she completes the final stages of her GP training. Click here for more information on training at the Yellow Wing.

Vaccinations

FLU VACCINATIONS

As we reach the end of our flu vaccination programme we wanted to say thank you to all who took the time to come in and made the process run so smoothly. Over 1400 of you have come in to the practice to be vaccinated. If you have not had your flu jab yet and you still want one, please call the practice to make an appointment with one of our Health Care Assistants.

SHINGLES

We are now running shingles vaccination clinics for patients aged between 70 & 79 years old. If you are eligible this year you will be contacted either by letter, text message or telephone call and invited in to a special clinic with our practice nurse.

*PLEASE NOTE: Due to the high cost of these vaccinations (in excess of £100 each) and the complex nature of its administration, we only hold enough vaccines to cover the number of patients in each pre-booked clinic and it is administered ONLY by our trained practice sister so it cannot be given out with these set clinics or during routine GP or nurse appointments.

Out of Hours Service Moved

The Out of Hours Service has now moved from Drumchapel Day Hospital to its new site at Gartnavel General Hospital.

If you have an emergency which cannot wait until the practice opens, please call NHS24 on 111 who will arrange an appointment, if necessary, at the emergency centre at Gartnavel.

Telephone service

Our doctors have been struggling to cope with escalating demand for phone contact in recent years.

We will no longer routinely offer “telephone consultations”.

Reception staff will try to resolve your problem directly or may involve appropriate third parties, eg Practice Nurse, District Nurse, Midwife or local Pharmacist. If you still need to speak to the doctor, you can leave the doctor a “telephone message”. The doctor will read and respond to them all, but it may not result in a direct conversation or contact the same day. Urgent matters are not appropriate for telephone messages.

Our reception staff do their best to try and help you and us. Please do not put them under undue pressure. Briefly, don’t make unreasonable demands, make sure you provide a suitable contact number and answer your phone!
