Aberdeen community health care practice
11/08/2005
The Calsayseat Medical Practice in Aberdeen was visited
by Deputy Health Minister Lewis Macdonald today.
The recently opened building brings state of the art
health facilities, including consulting rooms, a minor
procedures facility and teaching areas to the local
community.
The practice has a Personal Medical Services contract
which focuses on improving access and delivering quality of
service for local people.
Mr Macdonald said:
"The Calsayseat Medical Practice is an excellent example
of modern healthcare provision and one which NHS Grampian
can be extremely proud of.
"I am particularly impressed by the quality and variety
of services that the practice offers to patients from an
asthma clinic to purpose built accommodation for social
work and occupational therapy.
"There are many advantages to providing health care in
the community and these were highlighted in the Kerr
Group's report. Minister's want to see more facilities of
this kind being made available to NHS patients throughout
the country."
Calsayseat Medical Practice was established over 100
years ago but relocated to new purpose built premises on
Powis Place in December 2004.
The practice agreed a Personal Medical
Services (PMS) contract in April 2002. All PMS schemes are
voluntary and Ministers must approve pilot proposals before
they start.
The following services are provided at
the practice:
- Asthma clinic
- Heart clinic
- Immunisation/child health and development
clinic
- Post graduate and under graduate teaching
