Informative notice to patients of Carradale Surgery - Coronovirus

In light of the currently evolving COVID-19 (Coronavirus) situation, Carradale Surgery is taking preventative measures to help protect our community. 

We are encouraging contact by way of telephone, video or email.

Appointments

In order to minimise the spread of the virus, we are triaging all requests for appointments. and encouraging patients to engage in telephone and video consultations for the time being, rather than attending the surgery for ‘face-to-face’ appointments.  If the clinician then decides it is necessary for you to be seen in clinic, this will be arranged for you. 

We have locked our main entrance, allowing entry only to attend essential appointments, thus limiting the number of patients in our waiting room at one time. 

Medication Requests

Please email Carradale.surgery@nhs.scot (preferable), call (01583 431376) or post through the letterbox at the left-hand side of the building. 

Please telephone the surgery during reception opening hours on 01583 431376 or email carradale.surgery@nhs.scot to make your appointment.
