The practice nurses run clinics for the management and review of patients’ diabetes, vascular, chest, renal and other conditions.

If you suffer from any of these conditions you will receive a letter of invitation to attend a clinic. These run at various times throughout the week however you don’t need to wait until your invitation to come to the clinic. You can simply book an appointment by contacting reception.

Some of the annual reviews will require you to attend for a blood test prior to being seen in the clinic. The reception team will advise you of the appropriate appointments to make when you contact us.

If you are invited and do not wish to attend for your review, please let reception know, preferably in writing. We will not invite you again for 12 months but you will be invited annually for checks.

 Clackmannan Health Centre - Monday, Wednesday and Friday – 8.40am-10.40am

Kincardine Health Centre - Tuesday 8.30am-12.30pm, Thursday 2pm-5pm & Friday 8.30am-4.30pm.

A district nurse can be consulted for wound management, dressings, injections and ear assessments.

We prefer to do these tests ourselves and a doctor or practice nurse of your choice can carry these out. Please inform the receptionist when you are making your appointment that you will be having a smear test. We follow the local policy of performing smear tests every three years unless the cytologist recommends repeating the smear more often or if you have had a hysterectomy.

You will receive an invitation by letter. However you need not wait for the invitation before making your appointment.

Recall for smear tests and results is done centrally by the national system. It can take up to six weeks for results to be issued to patients. Please bear this in mind if you haven’t had your result as quickly as you might have hoped for.

Childhood Vaccinations

It is important that your child is fully immunised against all childhood diseases. Recall of children for immunisation are routinely done by the health visiting team with vaccinations administered by the practice nurses. Development checks will be made by the health visitors. Those who are overdue may be sent reminders.
