Practice Leaflet
Centenary Surgery was established in April 1988 by Dr Ooi and it continues under Dr Ailish Glen who joined the practice in 2016. Dr Mike Irvine continues to work at the practice alongside Dr Glen covering mainly Wednesdays. Dr Fife is available on Fridays.
We are committed to high standards of care for all our patients. We aim to promote good health, encourage healthy living, screen for preventable diseases, and to give the best possible treatment available. We hope that you find that we are a friendly approachable practice that cares for each of our patients on an individual basis.
Emergencies & Urgent Conditions
If you feel that you have an emergency, e.g. chest pain, severe asthma, very ill infant, or serious haemorrhage, then the best course of action is to call the ambulance service (dial 999).
Out of Hours (evenings/weekends)
During evenings and weekends NHS Lanarkshire is responsible for all calls. Please telephone NHS 24 on 111 Please note that your call will be triaged by a nurse who will either deal with your call over the phone or ask you to attend the centre at one of the Out of Hours Centres. Any routine matters should wait till the surgery reopens. More information is available at https://www.nhs24.scot/
Contraceptive Services
The Practice Nurse normally deals with contraceptive servcies. Dr Glen does not provide contraceptive servcies.
Practice Nurse
Nurses Caroline Travers and Joanne Lewis provide their own surgeries including Advanced Nurse appointments.
If you feel you would like to consult them then make an appointment on the normal surgery number. Clinics include asthma, high blood pressure, heart disease and diabetes. The nurses are highly skilled in cervical smear testing and advise on contraception.
Practice Nurse Joanne Lewis is available on Fridays to support the practice nursing service. Practice Nurse Caroline Travers is available on Wednesdays.
Advanced Nurse Practitioner
We also offer Advanced Nurse appointments to support the GP.
Repeat Prescriptions
You may obtain repeat prescriptions for essential drugs taken on a regular basis, without seeing the doctor. You can use the prescription counterfoil (right hand side of your prescription) to order your prescriptions through your pharmacist.
We also have online ordering for prescriptions —just ask us and it can be set up for you.
WE DO NOT ACCEPT TELEPHONE REQUESTS FOR REPEAT PRESCRIPTIONS.
NEW PATIENTS
New patients may register simply by filling in a registration form at the surgery. You will be asked to fill in a new patient questionnaire, allowing us to provide medical care in the interim period, until your notes arrive from your old practice.
