Business Details
We run Garthdee Medical Group Health Centre, a modern primary care practice situated in the Garthdee area of Aberdeen. Since opening, we have established close links with Robert Gordon University, fostering clinical training and research collaboration. We prioritise patients' needs by offering a wide range of services from routine checkups to urgent care and chronic medication management. We have recently overhauled our appointment system, allowing patients to book routine appointments up to four weeks in advance and nextday appointments up to 24 hours ahead. We operate extended hours, providing early morning and evening slots to accommodate working patients and those with tight schedules. We partner with local pharmacies, opticians, and physiotherapists, giving patients access to firstcontact services and specialist care on the same day. We employ an advanced nurse practitioner who can diagnose and treat most acute conditions promptly, reducing the need for hospital referrals.
We offer a listening service that delivers confidential emotional support, ensuring patients receive timely mentalhealth assistance. We maintain a dedicated Chronic Medication Service, providing regular medication reviews and personalised adherence support for longterm conditions. We collaborate with the Aberdeen City Community Treatment & Care Clinics, expanding our reach and offering nurseled services such as blood tests and wound care across the city. We uphold the highest professional standards, adhering to NHS guidelines and ensuring transparent communication with every patient. We are committed to continuous improvement, regularly reviewing patient feedback to enhance our care quality and service accessibility.
