On this website you will find all the important information about our practice and services offered. There are some practical tips and links to useful resources. We would welcome any feedback or suggestions for website content. 

.FLU VACCINES

The practice is currently administering flu vaccines to all patients aged 70 or over and any patients who were shielding.  We will contact those who are eligible or, you can phone the surgery to make an appointment at one of our clinics. 

All other age groups will be vaccinated in central clinics and will receive information in due course.

The practice has access to spoken language and deafblind interpretation and translation services.  If you would like to access this service please let the receptionist know when you make your appointment.  If unable to make an appointment by telephone then please email the practice at tay.ancrum@nhs.scot to request an appointment.

TRAVEL CLINIC

****Unfortunately we have taken the decision to withdraw our travel advice service***. Please see the travel clinic page for an update.

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. 

Text Service

The practice has recently commenced a new text reminder service. Patients should receive a reminder for their upcoming appointment at the practice.  

Any patients failing to cancel or failing to attend a booked appointment will also receive a message.

We hope this will reduce the number of wasted appointments and further improve availability.

Please update your contact details when you attend the surgery to facilitate the service

Prescription Ordering Online

We now offer a secure online service which can be used to order prescriptions.
We would encourage patients to contact our reception team to register for this service.

You will then need to visit the Patient Services website to complete the process.

You can still order by email if you prefer although the practice is working towards phasing this out in time.
