β˜€οΈπŸ‘Ά Keeping Babies & Toddlers Cool in Hot Weather 🌑️

Little ones can overheat quickly, so here are a few simple ways to help keep them cool:

πŸ’§ Offer regular drinks to keep them hydrated (breastfed babies may want extra feeds).
πŸ‘• Dress them in lightweight, loose-fitting clothing.
🌳 Keep them in the shade and avoid being outside during the hottest part of the day.
πŸŒ€ Keep rooms cool by closing curtains or blinds during the day and opening windows when it's cooler.
πŸ› A lukewarm bath or a cool damp flannel can help them cool down.
πŸš— Never leave a baby or child alone in a parked car, even for a few minutes.

Keep an eye out for signs of overheating, such as feeling unusually hot, flushed skin, being very sleepy, irritable, or breathing faster than normal.

Stay safe and enjoy the sunshine! β˜€οΈπŸ’™

🌼🀧 Hay Fever Season is Here! 🀧🌼

If you're struggling with hay fever symptoms such as sneezing, itchy eyes or a runny nose, your community pharmacy is the best place to get advice and treatment.

❗ Please note: The practice does not prescribe hay fever medication. Hay fever treatment is available through Pharmacy First Scotland, where your pharmacist can assess your symptoms and recommend the most appropriate treatment.

Your local pharmacist can offer advice on:
🌼 Hay fever tablets
🌼 Nasal sprays
🌼 Eye drops
🌼 Managing your symptoms

There's no need to wait for a GP appointment – your pharmacist is here to help.

Abusive behaviour harms our staff both mentally and physically, resulting in time off work and less time spent with patients. Please be considerate to our staff.

β˜€οΈπŸŒ‘οΈ Taking Lithium? Take Extra Care in Hot Weather πŸ’Š

Warm weather can affect how your body handles lithium, increasing the risk of your lithium levels becoming too high.

To help keep yourself safe:
πŸ’§ Drink plenty of fluids and stay hydrated.
🌞 Avoid becoming overheated where possible.
πŸ€’ Seek medical advice if you have vomiting, diarrhoea, or excessive sweating, as these can affect your lithium levels.
πŸ’Š Continue taking your medication as prescribed unless you've been advised otherwise by a healthcare professional.

If you're concerned about your lithium or think you may be experiencing side effects, please contact the practice for advice.

Stay safe and enjoy the sunshine! β˜€οΈπŸ’™

Changes to Engage Consult Opening Times

From Wednesday 15th July 2026, our Engage Consult service will be available between 7:00am and 1:30pm each weekday.

Our telephone line availability will also change to: 8:30am-1:00pm and 1:30pm-5:00pm.

While this represents a small reduction in the hours the service is open, these changes will help us improve how we manage patient requests by providing:

βœ… Improved continuity of care.
βœ… Shorter waiting times for appointments and clinical responses.
βœ… A safer and more sustainable way of managing increasing demand.

If you contact the practice after 1:30pm, and your request is deemed not urgent, our reception team may advise you to:

πŸ’Š Use Pharmacy First for minor illnesses
🌐 Visit NHS Inform for self-care advice
πŸ₯ Attend the local Walk-In Centre if appropriate
πŸ“… Contact us again the next working day

If your condition is urgent or becomes worse, please seek help through the most appropriate NHS service.

We appreciate your understanding and support as we make these changes to help us provide a more responsive and continuous service for our patients.

Why have we made this change?
There is growing evidence that the push on access may be self-defeating. Focusing on access results in less continuity of care and longer waiting times for appointments. Access is important, but access to the right clinician, at the right time, is even more important. These changes are designed to help us deliver both.
