COVID-19 UPDATE
Community services and hospitals remain extremely busy. We continue to work in a slightly different way to protect our patients and staff. NHS Lanarkshire have asked that patients and visitors continue to wear masks in healthcare environments unless you are exempt. We will continue to ask you to wear a mask and we will check you are well before you enter the surgery.
Thank you for your ongoing support and understanding.
