Job Description
Further Particulars
Angus Community Care and Treatment Centre
In line with the national GMS contract changes, some services previously carried out in the GP surgery will now be carried out at the Angus Care and Treatment Centre situated within the Outpatient Department at Arbroath Infirmary. The services concerned are routine clinical investigations and reviews such as - blood tests, monitoring prior to practice based review of your long term condition, wound care, ear care and leg ulcer management.
If you are required to have any of the above services, you will be given a number to call to make an appointment. As is the case currently the results of any tests will come back to the practice for review and any action by your healthcare professional.
This is part of a nationally agreed plan to increase the support provided to general practices and their patients, and increase space within general practice for wider provision of services. The Arbroath Outpatient based model builds upon the wide range of services, including anticoagulation monitoring, already provided at Arbroath Infirmary on behalf of all the practices.
Feedback is being gathered from all attending the clinic to help further improve and develop the service moving forwards.
