Grampian General Practice – working together for a brighter future.
GP practices are the bedrock of our healthcare services. Across Grampian we are working together to deliver the services you need.
Over the last few years GP practices have seen a huge increase in the number of people who need care and support. At the same time is has got harder to recruit new GPs, along with other vital staff.
Practices have changed and now have larger teams made up of many different professionals - for example you may have had an appointment with a highly qualified Advanced Nurse Practitioner or seen a Physiotherapist to help with back pain. These new 'multi-disciplinary' teams are of great value and have helped with the increase in demand - but the demand keeps growing.
We know some of you have real concerns about accessing community services. You might be worried help and support will not be easily available when you need it. The NHS, the health & social care partnerships, and GPs themselves are committed to building on the foundations we have; we need your help to really understand how we can move forward to a brighter future.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR PATIENTS OF
GARTHDEE MEDICAL GROUP
It is with regret we announce that Dr Raina Mittel and Dr Nancy Wayemeru are leaving Garthdee Medical Group and we have been unable to recruit any new doctors to replace them.
This means we have lost over 150 GP appointments per week.
We are aware this will make it more difficult for you to see a doctor, however there are other health care professionals who will be able to help you, and our reception team are trained to guide you appropriately.
• PHARMACY FIRST - many conditions can be treated at local chemists. The pharmacists at Garthdee Pharmacy, Holburn Pharmacy and Boots the Chemist have undergone specialist training and can prescribe antibiotics for many common ailments.
• OPTICIAN - if you are having any issue with your eyes, all opticians in Aberdeen can see you urgently. They have specialist equipment to examine your eyes and can prescribe or refer to hospital if necessary.
• FIRST CONTACT PHYSIOTHERAPY - we have secured a specialist physiotherapist who is able to assess and treat back pain, sciatica, hip, shoulder, knee, elbow and ankle pain. If needed, he is able to prescribe pain relief.
• ADVANCED NURSE PRACTITIONER - this is a highly trained nurse who is able to deal with most acute problems such as abdominal pain, chest pain, coughs and colds, and urinary problems.
• LISTENING SERVICE – a trained professional who can offer an unbiased and confidential appointment if you are emotionally distressed and in need of support.
• NHS INFORM https://www.nhsinform.scot/ - this website can give you valuable information on how to manage common ailments and illnesses yourself, and when you need to see a health care professional.
Please help us to help you by being patient and respectful; a doctor may not be the only person who can deal with your problem.
