Welcome to St Margaret’s Health Centre

Practice premises

We are a purpose-built health centre situated in the grounds of St Margaret‘s Community Hospital (13 beds) here in Auchterarder. We cover a widely scattered rural practice providing a very broad spectrum of medical care. The health centre has suitable access for all disabled persons, having all patient services on the ground floor, and there is a separate WC for disabled patients.

We provide care for approximately 10,800 patients covering an area of 100 square miles. This care is provided from two centres – the Health Centre here in Auchterarder and our branch surgery in Dunning.

Health and Happiness

Our team are dedicated to your continued good health and approach your care with professionalism, discretion and friendliness. You can count on a warm welcome from everyone involved here at the Practice.

St Margaret’s Hospital

St Margaret’s Hospital is a great asset to the local community, allowing not only in-patient care but some additional services including podiatry and physiotherapy. A range of out patient services are also held there.

All minor injuries are dealt with via 111 – please call 111 to be given an appointment at a local centre or A&E PRI if appropriate.

Telephone Calls

When telephoning the Health Centre your call may be recorded for training and monitoring purposes.

Due to increasing workload, the phones will be transferred to emergency mode each weekday between 12.30pm and 1.30pm
