Flu Vaccination 2021-22

We now have flu vaccines in stock.

Please note that this year the responsibility for vaccinating all eligible patients is being shared between the school nursing service, Tayside Health Board's Vaccination service, and the practice. The practice have agreed to vaccinate all patients aged 70 years or over, and those at highest risk of infection (similar to the shielding group during the Covid immunisation programme). I

If you are aged 70 years or over, or in the highest risk group please telephone the Health Centre any afternoon to make an appointment for your flu vaccine.
We look forward to seeing you.


PATIENT NOTICE

We will all miss him as a colleague and a friend as part of the health care team and know that the many patients he has helped will miss him too. We wish him many happy and healthy years of retirement.

Welcome to St. Margaret's Health Centre Website

We are a purpose-built health centre situated in the grounds of St Margaret‘s Community Hospital (14 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 10,500 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. Due to COVID restrictions all minor injuries are now being seen at St. Margaret's Health Centre during the opening hours of Monday to Friday 8am - 6pm.  Outwith these hours minor injuries should contact 111.

Reminder to our patients May 2021

Even although we are currently providing a reduced service at the Health Centre our ON THE DAY TELEPHONE TRIAGE SURGERY is still taking place each morning for patients to receive a callback from a Health Professional.  Your callback will usually be between 8.30am and 1pm but during extreme busy times your callback may be after 1pm.

To request a callback please phone the reception before 10am.

 
Calls after 10am requesting to speak to a GP on the same day are classed as on the day emergencies and are dealt with by the oncall GP.  The oncall GP can be very busy and it might take a bit longer for them to call you back so whenever possible please request a same day call back by 10am.
