Covid and Flu vaccinations

Unfortunately, we are not delivering the covid and flu vaccinations this year.  This was a national decision to centralise vaccination services.

Please do not call the practice as we have no information regarding eligibility or appointments.  Every patient should be sent a letter.  Please call 0800 030 8013 or visit www.nhsinform.scot

The appointments are being scheduled for Kippen Surgery but being administered by a separate team.

Organ Donation Changes from 26 March

From 26 March 2021, the law around organ and tissue donation in Scotland is changing to an opt out system.

Organ and tissue donation remains a personal decision and you have a choice. People are encouraged to register their decision on the NHS Organ Donor Register and tell their family and friends as this will make it easier for them to honour their decision.

Here is where you can find out more about the law change and the choices everyone has.

For more information, visit organdonationscotland.org

Medications must be collected from the side window of Kippen Surgery from

11am to 1pm and 3pm to 6pm, Monday, Tuesday, Thursday & Friday.

11am to 12 noon on a Wednesday. Surgery closed on a Wednesday afternoon.

** Drop-In Surgeries & Online Appointment Booking Have Been Suspended **

Please note that as of the 16th of March, our morning drop-in surgeries and online appointment bookings have been suspended for the foreseeable future.  We will be operating a telephone triage system so staff will be asking questions regarding symptoms and the nature of your appointment request.  Please be open with this information and be reassured it is completely confidential.  Thank you for your co-operation.

Please note we no longer take prescription requests over the telephone.

Please see our Prescriptions tab or Online Services Quick Link for further information.  The dispensary can be contacted directly on 01786 870799 after 11am.
