GP Partner

The Practice is delighted to announce the appointment of a new GP Partner.  Dr Gordon Haveron will join the Practice from 1st March 2018, working three full days per week. 

Interpreter/Translation Services

If English is not your first language and you feel an interpreter would help in your medical consultation, a telephone interpretation service can be arranged during your appointment.   Please arrange a longer appointment if you require this service. 

Eyecare Ayrshire

Eyecare Ayrshire is aimed at promoting Optometry services as the first port of call for eye problems within Ayrshire and Arran. This scheme was launched on 1st February, 2017 and strives to provide the right service, by the right person, in the right setting. 

The aim of this joint initiative is to direct patients who have eye problems to Optometrists (rather than GP, A&E) who can assess, manage and, where indicated, refer to the right agency.
