WEST CALDER MEDICAL CENTRE

all doctors and staff would like to thank their patients for their continued support and understanding during the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic. As you will be aware we had to quickly implement significant changes to our service for the safety of patients and staff. We have now reached a transitional phase, and are working hard to adapt our service so we can deal with non-urgent medical problems in a more co-ordinated way hopefully to the benefit of both doctors and patients. Patients are now able to request a call-back from a particular doctor up to 2 weeks in advance. Depending on availability, patients will be able to specify the date and either a morning or afternoon callback. This will allow the GP’s to plan their workload better, and provide patients with better continuity of care. We will keep you informed of further changes as they occur. Many thanks West Calder Medical Centre
