Newcastleton Medical Practice

About Newcastleton Medical Practice

Newcastleton Surgery is based in a historical rural village. Our GP's are Dr H Kennedy and Dr J Bowley and our list size is approximately 1600. We have a practice nurse, a district nurse and we are currently piloting a paramedic practitioner one day per week. We are a dispensing practice and have a pharmacist who also runs Asthma/COPD Clinics. We are a friendly team and work hard to meet the needs of our patients. We are a cross border practice and although the majority of our Patients are in the Borders we also have patients in Cumbria, Northumberland and Dumfries and Galloway which means we cover an area of around 400 square miles.
Our staff have been with us for many years and we are very lucky to have such dedicated staff. There are appointments that can be booked ahead of time and there are also appointments held for on the day acute problems. When we have a request for an urgent appointment and have none available we triage calls and ask questions set by the GP's so that the GP's can make an informed decision and arrange the appropriate treatment.
