Other Services A Physiotherapy Department, Podiatrist and Community Dentist are also accommodated in the health centre. The NHS Helpline is a FREEPHONE network, which provides free, confidential information on a range of health issues on 0800 2244 88 . Open times are Monday to Friday 18.00 - 22.00 hours. From Monday to Friday please contact your own dentist. If you do not currently have a dentist please contact 01292 479682 to obtain an emergency appointment during working hours. In addition to the sophisticated alarm system, CCTV (closed-circuit television) has been installed both inside and outside the health centre. The cameras are linked to a central monitoring office and record all movements inside and outside the health centre. The monitoring office is also in direct contact with the police. Following the introduction of the triage system, getting through to the practice has become easier; there is no longer the need to call in the early morning to obtain an appointment. All requests for appointments are dealt with in the same way by a trained health professional. We have a system that will put you through to the person best able to deal with your call. When phoning the surgery you will be asked to choose either:
You can make your choice at any time as soon as you hear the recording; you do not have to listen to the whole message each time.
Please note that there is no chemist open in the Cumnock area on Sunday or after normal hours. In the event of requiring a chemist please contact the local police station who will be able to give details of the duty chemist. |
