Noticeboard

We are changing our name!!

From 1st April 2019 we will be known as 'Coast Health'.  This is to reflect a number of changes which have taken place over the last few months.

Check out our latest newsletter for further details:

Online Prescription Ordering

You can now view, request, and check the progress of your repeat prescription requests online.  There is also a free 'app' allowing you to manage your prescriptions on your mobile phone. You must contact the surgery first as you will require a code to be able to register. 

Missed Appointments

We try hard to meet  demand but an increasing amount of appointments with the doctors and nurses are being wasted due to patients who fail to attend or who cancel at short notice leaving us unable to offer the appointment to any one else. If you find that you are unable to attend your appointment or no longer need it, please let us know in plenty of time so that it can be given to another patient.

 

Pittenweem or  Elie Surgery?

All of our Doctors and Nurses consult at both Surgeries and you may be offered an appointment at either site.  This can cut the length of time you have to wait but you have the choice  to be seen at. whichever Surgery you prefer.  Please ensure that you have confirmed with the receptionist which Surgery your appointment is at to prevent a wasted journey.

Scottish Bowel Screening Programme

Bowel cancer is the third most common cancer in Scotland after lung and breast cancer.  Every year, almost 4000 people are diagnosed with the disease.  For men the risk of getting colorectal can er ovr the age of 50 is 1 in 18 (5.5%) and for women the equivalent risk is 1 in 22 (4.5%).
