Clinics We Offer

Diabetic Clinic

This is run by the Practice Nurses. You will be called to attend our Treatment Room for your initial pre-assessment bloods, blood pressure, urine check as well as height and weight measurements. 

Once our practice nurses have all your results (which sometimes takes up to 21 days), if all is normal/stable you won’t hear from us and should continue on your current regime.  If anything of note is found or if any medication changes are required, you will receive a text asking you to make an appointment (either telephone or in-person) with nurse for follow up.

Foot checks and eye screening will be arranged at the same time, via letter from the Health Board

Quit Your Way

Giving up smoking is not something you have to do on your own.

There is a NHS service available in Lanarkshire to help you succeed.

Quit Your Way is a free stop smoking service, where trained and friendly advisers can be contacted via Freephone or live web chat. The service offers a variety of support options and access to nicotine replacement treatments, even if those who smoke have attempted to quit previously.

You may have tried to stop before without success – nicotine is a powerful, addictive drug. The team are there to help and support you when you feel ready.
