THE OLD MACHAR MEDICAL PRACTICE

Nursing Appointments

Nursing staff are present in the practice Monday to Friday and, as with Doctors appointments, all patients are seen by appointment only.   We provide a wide variety of specialist clinics as well as appointments for routine nursing matters.  Should you qualify to attend one of our specialist review clinics please do not hesitate to contact our reception for an appointment.  Alternatively any of our doctors will happily advise as to your suitability to attend any of our specialist clinics.

Should you require nursing advice only, please ask one of our reception staff to relay your query to the nurses who will call you back at a convenient time.
