Welcome to Lochee Medical Practice

During the Covid-19 pandemic we are removing the facility for online booking of surgery appointments.   All GP appointments will be triaged by doctors. If you feel you need to be seen you can book a telephone consultation by phoning the surgery. We will try to deal with your problem over the telephone if possible. If we need to see you , we will do this in the safest way possible for you and for other patients. Please ensure we have an accurate telephone number and that you answer the telephone when called.

From 1 May 2022, most people no longer need to take a Coronavirus test and should follow guidance on staying at home if unwell.  The latest guidance can be found at NHS Inform Covid19 

Coronavirus, and other respiratory infections such as flu, can spread easily and cause serious illness in some people. Vaccinations are very effective at preventing serious illness from coronavirus. But there's still a chance you might catch coronavirus, or another respiratory infection, and pass it on to other people.

Symptoms

Stay at home and avoid contact with other people if you have symptoms of a respiratory infection such as coronavirus and have a high temperature or do not feel well enough to go to work or carry out normal activities.  Symptoms of Coronavirus, flu and common respiratory infections include:

    • continuous cough
    • high temperature, fever or chills
