Clinics and Services

Please note the following information may currently be inaccurate in light of the current pandemic. Please check our main front page for latest updates.

Our practice offers a series of nurse-led clinics dealing with chronic conditions. These clinics are run by the practice nurse, Sister Jane McKenzie.

Our healthcare assistants, Mrs Janice Smart and Miss Karen Murray, assist the nurses in running clinics for new patient registration, chronic disease blood monitoring, blood pressure checks and other specified basic tasks.

Our clinics include:

  • Diabetes
  • Hypertension
  • Stroke
  • COPD (emphysema)
  • Heart disease
  • Asthma
  • Family planning
  • Cervical screening
  • Bowel cancer screening
  • Vaccinations
  • General lifestyle advice
  • Taking blood samples
  • Travel health service

Routine appointments can be made with our practice nurses for any of the above clinics by calling 0141 531 6490. At present, only doctors’ appointments can be booked on-line.

From time to time you may be invited to attend by letter.

We also offer a number of Enhanced Services, including:

  • Gold Standards Framework palliative care programme
  • Blood and urine monitoring for patients on drugs for arthritis and bowel disease
  • Annual flu vaccination programme for over 65’s and vulnerable patients
  • Longterm contraception, including implants, injections and coils

A number of other specialist outreach clinics and services are available within the wider health centre; for example Sandyford sexual health clinic, Primary care mental health services, physiotherapy, podiatry & X-ray.

Medical Students and Trainees

0017We are a teaching practice and participate in training Glasgow medical students, as well as trainee GPs. Medical students aren’t yet qualified and will always be fully supervised. GP trainees are fully qualified doctors who lack experience in general practice. They may operate independently, but under the supervision of their trainer. You will be advised, when making an appointment, whether a student will be present, giving you the opportunity to consent or re-arrange. The same may apply to house calls, from time to time. If you are unsure about who is dealing with you, always ask. It is fine to change your mind about having a medical student sitting in. Just let us know.

 

 

News & Announcements

Covid vaccinations

The roll-out of the covid vaccination programme is being co-ordinated by the Scottish Government. We are unable to advise patients at this time exactly if and when they might receive the vaccine but please be assured, if you are eligible, you will be contacted directly in due course.

Newsletter Sept 20

During the pandemic we have had to adapt and change our working methods which can understandably be confusing for patients who have been used to accessing services in a certain way for many years. Please click on our latest newsletter which answers some of the most common questions we are asked.

We will continue to assess and review our systems in response to government guidance but please be assured we are all working harder than ever to make sure all patients’ needs are met in these uncertain times.

Macmillan Cancer Support

Cancer doesn’t just affect your physical wellbeing it can affect every aspect of your life, from your emotions to your finances. However, often people don’t know where to turn for support. West Dunbartonshire Council and Macmillan Cancer Support have launched a new service to offer dedicated support to those affected by cancer. Patients can self-refer or the GP or a family relative can do it on their behalf. Click on the link for full information:
