Practice Clinics and Services

Advanced Nurse Practitioners (ANP) are medical professionals who have undertaken considerable training and act as the triage service for the GPs. They are able to prescribe medications, diagnose, treat and refer. The ANPs carry out house visits for the practice.

The Practice Nurse carries these out. Patients will be invited by letter.

Your baby’s six week check will be carried out in two parts. The Health Visitor will visit you at home and you should make an appointment with the doctor for the second part of this check.

This will be your baby’s last routine physical examination so it is important that you make an appointment at the surgery.

There is a central child immunisation clinic held at Port Glasgow Health Centre. These clinics are by appointment only and will be appointed by the Health Board. If you have to re-schedule an appointment, you should telephone the number on your letter as early as possible.

Further information can be found in Immunisation and Vaccination Schedule.
