Old Machar News

October 2010:  Sees the retirement of Dr Affleck.  After 21 years at the practice, Dr Affleck has decided to hang up his stethoscope.  We wish him all the best in his retirement.  From the 1st of October a new partner will be starting at the Practice, Dr Beattie , who has the difficult job of trying to fill his shoes!

April 2009: Following a reorganisation in the practice Dr Affleck and Dr MacLeod will be reducing their time in the practice to 3 days per week each.  We welcome Dr J. Vorenkamp as a replacement partner.  We also welcome back Dr M. Morley as a GP assistant.

November 2008: The practice is proud to announce that our Dr Sneddon has recently been appointed as the Assistant Director of Post Graduate Education for General Practice in Grampian.  Unfortunately this means that we will be seeing less of her in the practice.  From January 2009 Dr Sneddon will only be working 2 days per week in the practice (Monday and Tuesday).  Temporary arrangements are in place to cover Dr Sneddons' patients and we are currently searching for an additional partner.

June 2008: Telephone number change.  A new telephone system means a single number to contact the practice.  From June 2008 the number for both King Street and Jesmond Surgeries for appointments, house-calls, and general enquiries will be 0845-337-0510.  Other contact numbers are detailed here.

May 2008: Extended hours.  Further to our recent patient questionnaire, Old Machar Practice is now open into the late evening every Monday, and will be opening on Saturday mornings once per month.
