Hellos & Goodbyes

Join us in saying CONGRATULATIONS to Dr Fiona Gregor on the arrival of her baby girl! Dr Gregor will now depart for her maternity leave and we welcome Dr Jean Graham and Dr Joyce Braaksma to help cover Dr Gregor’s surgeries.

We would also like to welcome back Dr Enjie Ibrahim – our previous GP trainee. Dr Ibrahim will be with us on Mondays/Thursdays/Fridays for the remainder of her GP training.

Last but not least we say farewell to our GP trainee Dr Kristin Laing. We hope to see you again soon!

Bank Holiday Monday 20th July 2020

The practice will be closed on Monday 20th July for the Glasgow Fair Bank Holiday.

If you find yourself unwell during this time, the NHS ‘Know Who To Turn To’ guide is very useful in identifying the right option for your condition, and when to access essential services.

We hope you have a lovely weekend.

Emailing Photos

Have you been asked to email us photos?

Here is our 10 step guide for taking the most helpful photos for our clinicians.

 

1.       Use best quality phone (or digital) camera you have- the higher the megapixels the better.
2.       When taking photos take several then edit.
3.       Make sure skin area is well lit.
4.       Try to always orientate the photos such that person’s head at top of image.
5.       Take a photo from a distance so that the lesion or rash has context (e.g. the whole of person’s back)  then a mid-close up with an anatomical marker (e.g. navel).
6.       For close-up photos of lesion (e.g. a mole) try to take from 20cm away from skin- take two images from different angles keeping the lesion in centre of image.
7.       Place a ruler or tape next to lesion (if possible) so we have a sense of its size.
8.       If possible, place a solid neutral colour (e.g. a towel) in background.
9.       Disregard any poor images (e.g. out of focus), send only the best ones.
10.     You can send as JPEG or whatever format your phone/camera uses.
​
Please only send pictures if you have been requested to do so.

A GP Fit Note (sick line) is NOT required for self isolation due to the coronavirus.

Instead, the Government are providing Isolation Notes that you can give to your employer.

If you do require an Isolation Note please follow this link.

Video Consulting

In the very near future, our GP’s may ask to consult with you via a video call using a program called ‘Attend Anywhere’.

This will be at the GP’s request only and presently not for routine booking.

All you need at your end is a smart phone, tablet, laptop (or PC with webcam) and a connection to the internet that is good enough to watch a video i.e. a Youtube video.

If you have been asked by the GP to arrange a video call, please view the information sheet on how to get set up.
