Antenatal Care 

Pregnant women are looked after by the midwives attached to the practice.  They hold an antenatal clinic on a Wednesday morning.  The midwives will see women every four to six weeks.   We share the care of a pregnant lady with obstetricians, usually in Dr Gray’s Hospital in Elgin.  If there are no complications then there will be two visits to Dr Grays to see the specialist and to have a scan of the baby performed.  Planning a pregnancy requires some thought and there are several things you can do to improve your health and that of your baby.  The doctors or midwives would be happy to discuss this with you.

Child Health

Our health visitor is available four days per week and she provides support and advice on family health.   There is a drop in baby clinic held on the first Wednesday of the month which you are welcome to attend.  To arrange an appointment with the health visitor, please telephone 01340 882107.

Long Term Conditions

If you have a chronic disease such as Diabetes, Atrial Fibrillation, CKD, CHD etc we will contact you during teh month of your birth to arrange annual reviews, some conditions may also require a 6 monthly review.

Family Planning

GPs offer a full range of contraceptive advice in the normal surgeries.  To avoid unwanted pregnancies we offer advice to all age groups.  If you require the morning after pill remember you have only 72 hours to see a doctor or pharmacist.

Minor Surgery

Certain small operations can be performed in the Practice, but this is dependent upon the availability of an appropriately qualified GP.  Sometimes they will be done in a normal surgery or the doctor may agree another later date with you when we have more time.
