Diabetes
PN Lucas and Dr Smyth run this clinic. Appointments are offered every week, and you will receive a letter when your check up is due. Please let us know if you cannot attend, or contact us to arrange another date.
Antenatal
A clinic is run every 2nd Wednesday morning by the fife midwives 0930-1130. Please contact reception to make an appointment.
Asthma/COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease)
Inhalers not working? Not sure how to use them? PN Wilson is happy to see patients with a stable chronic lung condition for help, support and advice with their treatment. Please make an appointment for the asthma/COPD clinic.
Appointments are also sent out on an annual basis. Please let us know if you can’t make it, as another patient can always use your appointment.
Minor surgical procedures/Joint injections
Dr Wills and Dr Smyth are able to perform some minor surgery procedures. Usually, an appointment is necessary to discuss this further before a procedure being decided upon. This requires local anaesthetic and the support of a nurse from the treatment room.
The first step is to make an appointment with one of the GPs to discuss this further. Consent will be obtained prior to any procedure.
Most of the GPs can discuss or perform some joint injections, so again the first step is to make an appointment.
Cryotherapy (liquid nitrogen)
We now have access to liquid nitrogen. This can be used to deal with minor skin complaints such as warts and areas of sun damaged skin. The liquid nitrogen is available on Monday and Wednesday pm, and Friday am.
Your Practice Nurse or GP can advise if liquid nitrogen is necessary.
Phlebotomy
The phlebotomists are able to take blood tests from patients requiring regular blood testing. Appointments can be made at our reception or by phoning 01334 477477.
Please do not make an appointm,ent with the phlebotomist if you feel you may need a blood test. The phlebotomists require instructions from a GP or practice nurse before taking a blood sample. If in doubt, please call 01334 477477 to discuss the need for a test with a clinician.
