If you need urgent care, but it’s not life-threatening, you should call NHS 24 on 111 before going to A&E.
Help us keep you and the NHS safe.
If it’s an emergency, you should still call 999 or go straight to A&E.

New Website Coming Soon!
We have a new website launching soon! It will be the same address as our old one (scotstownmedicalgroup.co.uk) but you may need to clear your cache on your computer to see it properly.
eConsult + Website Update
As patients are aware we have been carrying out a review of the eConsult service which we have offered over the past few years, and we have come to the conclusion that eConsults will be permanently withdrawn. Thread 1/4

The ability to register for online services which allows for the ordering of repeat medication online will also continue, and as we assess the effect on practice workload we hope to make available other types of requests through online forms. 3/4
However, online capabilities will be reintroduced on a more modest scale as we develop the services available through our new website. Therefore with effect from early July we will have available a simpler form to request a doctors fit note. 2/4

We absolutely support this message from @SFRSYourSafety; we are really grateful to the public for the support they are showing all health & social care staff right now. Please do NOT light sky lanterns.
Sky lanterns pose a significant fire risk to our countryside.
This could place unnecessary pressure on the emergency services, and we would always discourage their use 🔥🚫
Please find a different way to show your support for the NHS.
