Coronavirus outbreak

Due to the current pandemic we are doing most consultations by telephone or video.  If we ask you to come to the surgery we will be wearing personal protective equipment including mask, gloves, eye protection and apron.  You should also wear a face covering when coming to the surgery.  A fabric mask is acceptable.

There is a video here which is useful to help explain the protective equipment to children.

Public Access Defibrillator

There is a defibrillator in a cabinet on the front wall of the surgery.  Available 24 hours per day. 

Other Defibrillators are available at:

Mitchell’s chemist. This is the defibrillator normally at the Castle but due to the pandemic this has been relocated to make it more accessible.

Royal Dornoch Golf Club - during opening hours, accessed via reception

Embo Hub (The old School house) - outside main entrance, available 24 hours per day.

Clashmore Hall. Available 24 hours per day.

Defibrillators are simple to use and lifesaving.  Please remember to call 999 for an ambulance to ensure help is on the way.
