Training Practice

The Yellow Wing is now a training practice. You are likely to meet our young GPs as they pass through and hope you will enjoy helping them as they help you. They are all fully qualified doctors who need to develop their experience within General Practice. Dr Emily Pringle joined us 3rd Feb and will be with us until August. … [Read more...]

FLU CLINICS

As you are probably aware, the way in which the flu campaign is being administered this year is slightly different due to the coronavirus restrictions.

All ADULT flu vaccinations will be taking place, by appointment only, in the Hub community centre on Kilbowie Road. This will ensure safe social distancing for patients and staff.

If you are eligible for a free vaccination, you will receive a letter telling you when your appointment is.

You are strongly encouraged to go to this appointment, however, if you are unable to attend, please telephone the number on your letter and give your details. The practice is unfortunately not able to give you a different appointment time but there will be a catch up date after the planned clinic.

If you are housebound or live in a care home, the district nursing team will visit you as in previous years.

Primary school children will be invited to school clinics, same as before, and the under 5s, and those aged 12-18 and at risk, will be invited by child immunisation teams.

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:
