*****Important update from Aboyne Medical Practice******

We are currently in the process of changing our computer system.

While we anticipate that any disruption will be minimal and short-term (around 1-2 weeks from 14th May), we kindly ask patients to bear with us during this period as we get to grips with the new system.

A significant amount of work has already been undertaken behind the scenes in preparation for the change.

Please be assured: GP access will continue, but some routine services or administrative tasks may take a little longer than usual.

We are confident this change will bring benefits in the future and shall keep you informed as we move forward.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Please note that this Monday, May 4th, is a public holiday, and many healthcare services, like GP practices and some pharmacies, will be closed. Consequently, NHS 24 and hospital emergency departments will be busier. For minor illnesses or injuries, self-care is usually the best option. Visit the NHS Inform website for helpful advice on common health issues.

Love is in the air today… and so are the sweet treats! 💘🍫

Every time we snack on sugary goodies, it creates acid that can harm our teeth – leading to decay and painful toothaches. And nobody wants a date with the dentist this Valentine’s! 🦷💔

Keep your smile feeling the love with these simple tips:

✔️ Brush twice a day with fluoride toothpaste.
✔️ Keep sugary treats to mealtimes where possible.
✔️ Visit your dentist regularly for check-ups.

A healthy smile is something to smile about – today and every day ❤️

A new year is always a good time to catch smokers who may be keen to stop. The Very Brief Advice (VBA) pathway uses the 3A's technique to have a very brief chat with your patients:

ASK
ADVISE
ACT

This technique can be used opportunistically. More training and information here:
