Should I see the Doctor or Nurse Practitioner?  Nurse Practitioners are highly trained specialist nurses who have completed further education and training so that they can provide advanced nursing care and prescribe medication.  They can provide treatment and advice for many of the problems that traditionally you saw your Dr about in the past.  If you are unsure if they can deal with your problem please ask at Reception.

Coronavirus Information and Updates

                   

                        

Coronavirus Update:

  

  • Covid Vaccination Status:  Please Visit https://www.nhsinform.scot/covid19status where you can view your status. Your vaccination status can be used to confirm that you have received a dose of the coronavirus vaccine and might be required when you are travelling internationally. There are international plans to issue coronavirus COVID Status Certificates for travel in future, however, nothing has been agreed yet.


  • Coronavirus Vaccine Self Registration: The registration portal for registering for a Covid Vaccine is now live. If you are over 18 and are still due to receive your first Covid Vaccine, you can click on the following link to register and receive an appointment 

    https://www.nhsinform.scot/covid-19-vaccine/invitations-and-appointments/registering-for-a-coronavirus-vaccine

             

  • Pregnancy and Covid Vaccines: The Joint committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) has advised that all pregnant women should be offered the COVID-19 vaccine at the same time as people of the same age or risk group. The COVID-19 vaccine can be given at any stage during pregnancy. The COVID-19 Pfizer and Moderna vaccines are the preferred vaccines for women of any age, because of more extensive use in pregnancy.
