COMMUNITY CARE AND TREATMENT CENTRES

Your GP may ask you to attend one of the Community Care and Treatment Centres to have certain procedures carried out, such as having blood taken, ear care or wound care.   There are several centres set up throughout Dundee and patients can attend any of the treatment centres.   If you are asked to attend one of the centres for a procedure then please telephone 496717 to make your own appointment.

PSA BLOOD TEST

There has been a lot of information in the press about prostate cancer, and its diagnosis, over recent months.  As a Practice, we are happy to support you in your decision about whether to have a PSA blood test.  It is important that you understand all the implications first, however.  If you are considering this then we would ask that you please read the UK Government information at: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/prostate-specific-antigen-testing-description-in-brief/psa-testing-and-prostate-cancer-advice-for-men-without-symptoms-of-prostate-disease-aged-50-and-over before requesting your test.  This information is all aimed at well men, aged 50 and over, who have no urinary symptoms, who are considering having a PSA test.  If you do have urinary symptoms, then you should book a GP appointment to discuss further.  If, after reading the Government information you still wish to have a PSA blood test then please book an appointment via our reception team.

First Contact Physiotherapy

If you have muscle, back or joint problems the practice can now give you an appointment to see a Physiotherapist first instead of your GP.   The Physiotherapist will assess your problem, give advice and refer on for further treatment if required.
