ACHARACLE MEDICAL PRACTICE NEWS

RETIREMENT

We would like to wish our friend and colleague, Allison Jackson, a long, healthy and happy retirement.  Thanks for all your help and advice over the years, here at the Pines, but also for all your service to the NHS over the past 45 years! That’s some achievement!  We will miss you loads from all the girls xx

Acharacle Medical Practice, in line with most practices in Highland, will be closing each day at lunchtime from 1.00pm until 2.00pm with effect from Monday 3rd August 2015.

The answerphone will be on during this time and will give a mobile number for you to ring if you require the Doctor urgently, and it cannot wait until 2.00pm. The answerphone is unable to take messages. The surgery and phone line will reopen at 2.00pm. In an emergency, as always, please call 999.

 

OUT OF HOURS SERVICE
The practice closes at 6pm, (Monday to Friday)  Between 6pm and 8am, Monday to Thursday, and, after 6pm Friday until 8am Monday morning,  please phone 111 (NHS 24 Freephone number) for out of hours assistance.  The staff at the NHS 24 will ask you for information about your health and condition and will advise on the most appropriate course of action.  This may include offering advice over the phone or advising you to attend a pharmacy.  If they feel you need to be seen, they will pass your case on to the highland hub, who will be in touch to arrange for you to attend the surgery or in some cases provide a home visit.

EMERGENCY/URGENT APPOINTMENTS
We have a few emergency/urgent appointments available daily, if you feel you need to be seen urgently, to book an appointment please call on the day between 8am to 8.30am

IN A LIFE THREATENING EMERGENCY, PLEASE PHONE 999 AND SPEAK TO THE AMBULANCE SERVICE

 

Home Visits
If a patient is unable to attend the surgery, then a home visit can be made.
Requests for these should be made before 10.00am,
if possible to allow the Doctor to plan the day.

The receptionist may ask you what the problem is
as the Doctor needs to prioritise home visits.

Patient Responsibilities
Please telephone to cancel your appointment if you cannot attend so
that it can be allocated to another patient.

This practice operates a zero-tolerance policy of verbal or physical
aggression towards all practice staff.
