St Luke's Medical Practice

St Luke's Medical Practice St Luke's Medical Practice will use Facebook as a platform to communicate to patients regarding Prac Also, St Luke, in the Bible, was a physician.

We chose the name "St Luke's Medical Practice", when we moved into Carluke Health Centre because, St Luke's Tower is a well known Carluke landmark, visible from our wing in our new health centre. We realised that we are continuing a heritage of medical care as a GP practice in Carluke. Since the NHS began in 1948, Carluke has been served by a succession of respected GPs. Dr Cuthbert, then Dr Somme

rville practiced out of a property in Clyde Street. Dr Paterson joined with Dr Sommerville in 1958, and for a few years, the practice was housed in the 'Templar's Hall'. In about 1976, the practice moved to our previous premises in Market Place, where Dr Paterson was joined by Dr Ann Jackson. Dr Stewart and Dr Innes both joined the practice in 1984. Dr Boyd joined in 1991, Dr Gemmill in 1992 and Dr MacDonald in 1994. Gradually, with more doctors joining, and changes in medicine, we feel that we 'outgrew' the old health centre, and plans were made to move to Chapel Street. We moved into the Health Centre on Chapel Street in August 2010. Dr Jack joined in 2016, Dr Hughes in 2017 and Dr Young joined in 2018. Our Current Doctors

Partners: Dr Jack, Dr Hughes and Dr Young
Other GPs working in the team include Dr Gemmill, Dr Gibson, Dr Torrens & Dr Gatenby. Practice Nurse Team : Nurse C Kennedy, Nurse K Maher, Nurse K Crawford, Nurse S Park-Ward, Nurse S Ghani & Nurse M Hillier

Hay Fever Advice

We understand how difficult hay fever can be — many of us suffer with it too, and we know just how much it can impact your day-to-day life.

However, we’d like to remind patients that hay fever can usually be managed effectively through the Pharmacy First service. Community pharmacists are highly trained and can offer expert advice and a wide range of treatments without needing a GP appointment.

It’s important to note that the surgery does not have access to any specialist or stronger medications that “cure” hay fever. The treatments we can prescribe are the same as those available over the counter (such as antihistamines, nasal sprays, and eye drops). Your pharmacist can help you choose the most suitable option for your symptoms.

Thank you for your understanding and support.
