About Tweeddale

Our surgery is situated in the fabulous new Fort William Health Centre. We share the Health Centre with the 2 other Fort William GP practices (Glen Mor and Craig Nevis) as well as the NHS Highland Community Primary Care Services. There is ample parking, including disabled spaces.

All the pharmacies have arrangements with us for a repeat prescriptions collection service.

The area we cover includes Fort William, Caol, Inverlochy, Claggan, Lochyside, Banavie and Corpach. It extends to Glenfinnan to the West, Loch Lochy to the North, Roy Bridge and Fersit to the East, and the Ballachulish Bridge to the South.

The Doctors consult twice daily, with a morning surgery and an afternoon surgery. Each Doctor takes a turn at being ‘Duty Doctor’ for the day. The Duty Doctor is available for home visits, telephone enquiries, prescriptions, etc. This ensures that a Doctor is available for urgent call-outs thereby ensuring that surgeries are not disturbed. All our Doctors have mobile phones installed in their car and this ensures direct communication at all times.

We provide a full range of maternity, family planning and child surveillance services. We also carry out some minor surgery procedures. We have special clinics for diabetes, asthma and hypertension.

All the Doctors are registered Police Surgeons and have a professional interest in occupational health. We also have a special interest in diving medicine and emergency work with the ambulance service which is co-ordinated by Dr Massie.
