Practice Policy on Private Medical Care
We are aware that with NHS waiting lists being lengthy at present, many patients are choosing to arrange consultations with private specialists, sometimes without our knowledge or recommendation. Whilst we understand why you may wish to do this, it is important that you are aware that your GP surgery may not necessarily be able to follow privately made recommendations with NHS investigations or prescriptions.

Be Tick Aware
Planning your next trip outdoors? 🌳 It’s important to know what you can do to prevent getting tick bites. Ticks are tiny, spider-like creatures which are usually found in wooded areas and long grass. They can painlessly bite and attach to our skin, and some carry the bacteria that causes Lyme disease. Our top tips for avoiding ticks in the outdoors are to: 🥾 Stick to the main paths and be aware when you venture off them 👖 Wear long sleeves and trousers in overgrown areas 🧴 Use insect repellent on your skin and clothing 🔎 After being outdoors, check your skin and clothing for ticks. If you find a tick, remove it carefully with a tick removal device (or fine-tipped tweezers if you don’t have one). If you’ve been bitten and you get a rash or feel unwell, contact your GP as soon as possible. To find out more about ticks and what to do if you’ve been bitten, visit NHS inform. 🔽 www.nhsinform.scot/tick-bites #BeTickAware #LymeDiseaseAwarenessMonth
