Community Services

You May at times be asked to attend the 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, suture removal, ear care and leg ulcer management.

If you are required to have any of the above services, you will be appointed by the practice or asked to call 01241 822527 to make an appointment. As is the case currently the results of any tests will come back to the department who has requested them for review and any action to be taken.

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 already provided at Arbroath Infirmary on behalf of all the local practices.
