Easter weekend closures

EASTER WEEKEND

The surgeries will be closed for the Easter weekend from Friday 29th March to Monday 1st April (inclusive). Please make sure you collect any medication required prior to your registered practice's closing time on Thursday 28th March.

To access Urgent Medical Care overnight, at weekends or on public holidays:

In a life threatening medical emergency (e.g. chest pain, severe shortness of breath, a major accident or trauma, symptoms of a stroke) you should call 999.

If you have a non life-threatening but urgent medical problem you can access medical advice by visiting www.nhsinform.scot. If you feel you need to speak with or see a nurse or doctor regarding an urgent medical problem, you should call NHS24 on 111.

The Emergency Department is located within Islay Hospital in Bowmore. Whilst you are free to attend without first seeking advice, if you are able to access care by the routes above it will allow us to prioritise the use of limited space within the Hospital building.
