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.

Flu updates

As of 1st November, over 1000 of you have attended the practice for your annual flu jag! We’re now nearing the end of our vaccination programme but there’s still time to come along if you’ve still not been vaccinated. We’ll be having a final open clinic on TUESDAY 12th NOVEMBER between 2pm-4pm. If you’re aged over 65, or under 65 with a long-term chronic illness, please pop along on this afternoon. No appointment necessary.

Our child flu clinics for those aged 2-5 years old have been slightly delayed due to a supply issue with the vaccines. We now have a new batch in stock and so a full-day clinic has been arranged for 19th November. If you’ve received a letter from the health board (or ourselves) inviting your child for this nasal vaccine, please call the practice as soon as possible and make an appointment for the 19th November to ensure your child is protected as we head into winter.

FLU CLINICS!

It’s that time again – our flu clinics will run every day from 7th-11th October. Please call the practice to make an appointment.

Flu vaccinations are available for everyone over 65. If you are under 65 and suffer from a chronic disease (such as diabetes, heart disease or COPD), we will text or letter you to invite you to make an appointment.

If you are unable to make these dates, we will have a catch-up clinic available at the end of October. Please do not make GP or nurse appointments just for a flu jag.

We will also be offering the nasal vaccination to all children aged 2-5 (not yet in school). There has been a delay in the supply of these vaccinations. We will advise patients when we are able to put on the clinics. Please check back for updates.

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:
