Beith Health Centre

The surgery operates a 48 hours appointment system. We also have a limited number of same-day appointments or, for advance bookings, patients are able to book appointments one week in advance. Appointments can be arranged over the telephone on 01505 502888 or in person by calling into the surgery. Dr McCarroll also offers a limited amount of telephone consultations for patients not requiring face-to-face consultations. Patients experiencing difficulties in obtaining a suitable appointment are asked to give the receptionist as much information as possible along with a contact number to pass on to the doctor.

Telephone Access to GPs and Practice Nurses

Patients seeking telephone advice/request/inquiries from doctors or practice nurses can do so at any time during normal working hours by leaving their name, address and contact number with a brief description of the nature of the call with the receptionist (Telephone 01505 502888).

HOW DO I...
Obtain Home Visits?

(Telephone 01505 502888)

If you are too ill or frail to get to the surgery and you need a home visit, please ring the surgery between 9.00 and 10.00am. This will assist in planning the doctors' rounds. Urgent visits may be requested by telephoning the surgery at any time. Please remember, however, that house visits are time-consuming. The doctor can see four patients in the surgery for every one at home, so please try to attend the surgery if possible. Please give the receptionist as much information as possible including your telephone number. House visits are at the doctors' discretion and they may wish to call you, either to ascertain the urgency of the visit or to allocate an appointment for you to come to surgery if at all possible.

HOW DO I...
Obtain Test Results?

(Telephone 01505 502888)

Specimens for the hospital labs are collected twice daily at 11.30am and 5.00pm. Results are also received by then and need to be screened by the doctor. Please phone for results after 4.00pm. Information will not be given to another person without your permission. Please note that pregnancy test results should be given in person. Please state if you are unable to collect your result and if you require the result to be given over the phone.
