Major IT disruption – update
Our online forms and previous website are offline due to our provider unexpectedly going in to administration.
We are open as normal, but for now, please call the surgery on 0141 644 3511 for all appointment and fit note requests.
Prescriptions can be requested via telephone or Patient Services, through the usual web-portal.
We are working to rebuild our website and commission a new online requests system. For now, all the online request functions are inactive. It may take several weeks to commission a new system.
Thanks for your patience.
