Important: clinical IT changeover from 30 September to 16 October 2026

Auchinairn is moving its clinical records system from EMIS PCS to Vision as part of NHS Scotland’s GP IT modernisation programme. The transition is scheduled from Wednesday 30 September to Friday 16 October 2026, with the first Vision “go live” day on Tuesday 6 October.

29 September Normal service continues until 6:00pm. Routine medicines needed during the disruption should be ordered by this deadline.

30 September Urgent/emergency appointment issues only. The existing online prescription system closes.

1–7 October The practice says it will deal with strict emergencies only.

8–16 October Urgent/emergency issues only. Prescription requests begin being accepted again from 8 October.

If your regular medicine will run out during the changeover: the practice says to order it by 6:00pm on Tuesday 29 September 2026. Requests submitted after that deadline will not be processed until Thursday 8 October.

New-patient registration pause: the practice says it cannot process new registrations from 30 September to 9 October 2026. Non-urgent reports, paperwork and medical forms will also be delayed.

Normal appointment service is scheduled to resume from 8:45am on Monday 19 October 2026. Patients remain registered throughout the change and medical records are being transferred to the new system.

For a wider explanation of NHS GP care, see the MedicalPracticeUK GP patient guide. Because Auchinairn is in Scotland, use its NHS Scotland-specific instructions rather than assuming England’s NHS App or NHS 111 online processes apply in the same way.

Why another NHS listing may show a different Monday start: NHS 24’s practice directory was last updated on 6 January 2026 and lists Monday from 8:30am. The practice’s own current contact page lists 8:45am, so this guide uses the live practice website for the patient-facing opening time.

Official current contact and opening hours NHS 24 practice listing

GP, ANP and nurse appointments

Auchinairn offers telephone and face-to-face appointments with GPs and Advanced Nurse Practitioners, plus practice-nurse and healthcare-assistant clinics. Reception uses the reason for your request to direct you to an appropriate member of the clinical team.

Urgent appointments

Urgent GP appointments are offered on the day and may be by telephone or face to face. Call from 8:45am.

Routine appointments

Routine GP appointments are for non-urgent problems and are available up to one week in advance. Call from 10:00am.

15-minute consultations

GP and ANP appointments are listed as 15 minutes. If you have two problems or one particularly complex issue, the practice asks you to request a double 30-minute appointment.

Extended hours

The practice lists pre-bookable GP appointments between 6:00pm and 7:30pm for both urgent and routine care. Ask reception about current availability.

Asking for a particular doctor

The practice’s June 2026 update says it will try to accommodate requests for a preferred clinician, but availability depends on annual leave, sickness, part-time working and demand. Waiting for one specific doctor can mean a longer delay. For urgent or same-day care, a preferred clinician cannot be guaranteed.

You still have a choice. If your preferred clinician is unavailable, reception can explain the available alternatives. Where clinically appropriate, you can choose to see another suitable clinician sooner or wait for your preferred clinician’s next available appointment.

Late arrival

If you arrive less than 10 minutes late, the practice will try to accommodate you, although you may have to wait. If you arrive more than 10 minutes late, the clinician decides whether there is still time to see you and you may need to rebook.

Official Auchinairn appointment guidance June 2026 clinician-choice update

Home visits: call before 11:00am where possible

Patients recorded as permanently or temporarily housebound can request a home visit. The practice asks people to call before 11:00am where possible.

Call reception.
Explain why travelling to the surgery is not possible.

Expect a telephone assessment first.
The practice says it will phone you to understand what care you need.

Use emergency services when necessary.
A home visit is not a substitute for 999 when someone is seriously ill or injured and life is at risk.

Repeat prescriptions: 10am–1pm and five working days

Auchinairn has a dedicated prescription voicemail line: 0141 762 1685. It is available Monday to Friday from 10:00am to 1:00pm.

Route	How to use it
Prescription voicemail	Call 0141 762 1685 between 10:00am and 1:00pm Monday–Friday.
Practice online form	Copy the medicine details exactly from a prescription slip and give the pharmacy you want to collect from.
Processing	Allow five working days before expecting the prescription to be ready.
Special request	The practice warns that medicines outside your normal repeat list may not be authorised.
Medication review pending	A repeat item may not be issued until the required review has been completed.

30 September system change: the current online ordering service will close when the practice migrates to Vision. Patients wanting to continue online ordering will need to register for the new My Vision Online – Patient Services route described in the official changeover notice.

The current online prescription form does not send an email acknowledgement. After submitting, look for the on-screen message confirming that the request was sent.

Official repeat-prescription form Vision migration instructions

For general preparation before a medication request, see the MedicalPracticeUK medication and repeat-prescription guide.

Test results: phone from 2:00pm

Once a doctor has reviewed the result, reception can tell you the recorded outcome. Reception staff are not qualified to interpret laboratory findings, so a clinician may need to discuss the result when further explanation or treatment is required.

Wait until the result has been reviewed.
Turnaround varies by investigation.

Call from 2:00pm.
The practice specifically reserves the later part of the day for results enquiries.

Arrange follow-up if advised.
The practice says it remains the patient’s responsibility to check results and make any necessary follow-up appointment.

Hospital-ordered test? If a clinic or hospital arranged the investigation, Auchinairn asks patients to contact that hospital or clinic for the result because the GP practice cannot action tests requested by clinicians outside the practice.

Bringing a sample to the surgery

Do not hand in a urine or other specimen unless a clinician or the reception team has asked for it. Samples must use the correct container and be clearly labelled. The practice says unsolicited samples may be disposed of.

Official test-result guidance

Register with Auchinairn Medical Practice

The practice asks permanent patients to live within its catchment. Its current registration page lists: G64 1, G64 2, G64 3, G21 3 and parts of G33 1 around Robroyston.

Check the postcode area.
Contact reception if you are unsure whether your particular G33 1 address is inside the catchment.

Complete the practice registration process.
You normally need to be staying in the area for more than three months to register permanently.

ID can help match your records, but it is not a legal requirement for GP registration in Scotland.
Auchinairn says it requests two forms of identification where possible—ideally one photographic and one showing your address—to help match NHS records correctly.

If you move outside the area, register with a new local practice.
Auchinairn’s policy says patients moving out of its practice area should transfer to a GP in the new area.

Upcoming registration pause: because of the Vision IT migration, new registrations cannot be processed from 30 September to 9 October 2026.

Official registration guidance Registration policy

Use the right NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde service

Several common problems do not require a GP appointment. Auchinairn’s current guidance directs patients to community pharmacies and local self-referral services where appropriate.

Pharmacy First Scotland

Community pharmacists can assess and treat many common problems including sore throats, minor skin infections, hay fever, thrush and some uncomplicated UTIs in women aged 16–65.

MSK / physiotherapy

Patients with muscle, joint or spine problems can use the local MSK physiotherapy self-referral route without first booking a GP appointment.

Podiatry

NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde podiatry uses a needs-based service for lower-limb and foot problems. The practice currently lists 0141 347 8909 for the service.

Community Treatment & Care

The practice contact page lists CTAC services for community treatment and care. Some services allow direct booking while others require a referral first.

Pregnancy

Pregnant patients can use the NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde maternity booking route rather than waiting for a GP appointment. The practice lists central booking on 0141 232 4005.

Vaccinations and travel

Auchinairn’s current NHS-services guide says routine vaccinations and travel vaccination services are delivered through NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde rather than the GP practice. For travel health, plan at least eight weeks before departure.

Complaints and feedback

If you have a formal complaint, Auchinairn asks patients to contact the Practice Manager or use its online complaints form. A copy of the complaints procedure is also available from reception.

What to expect

The practice says it will acknowledge a written complaint or complaint form within three working days. Complaints are kept confidential and separately from the patient’s clinical record.

Need an interpreter?

The practice says it can arrange a meeting with the Practice Manager and an interpreter for patients who need language support with their complaint.

NHS Scotland context: do not look for an English CQC rating

Auchinairn Medical Practice is an NHS Scotland GP practice. The Care Quality Commission is the regulator for health and adult social care services in England, so an English-style CQC star/rating profile is not the appropriate quality record for this Bishopbriggs practice.

For current patient information, prioritise the practice website, NHS 24 and NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde resources. MedicalPracticeUK.org does not convert reviews, patient feedback or NHS information into an invented rating.

Auchinairn is also listed in NHS Scotland GP training information as a GP training practice. That does not mean every appointment will involve a trainee, but it reflects its role in postgraduate general-practice education.

Can I ask to see a particular Auchinairn doctor?

Yes, the practice says it will try to accommodate a preferred clinician where possible. Availability depends on staffing, leave and demand, so waiting for one specific clinician may take longer. For urgent or same-day care the practice cannot guarantee your preferred doctor.

How do I order an Auchinairn repeat prescription and how long does it take?

Call the dedicated prescription voicemail on 0141 762 1685 between 10:00am and 1:00pm Monday to Friday, or use the practice’s online prescription route while it remains available. The practice asks patients to allow five working days for processing.

How will the September–October 2026 IT changeover affect patients?

Auchinairn is moving from EMIS PCS to Vision between 30 September and 16 October 2026. Appointment access will be restricted mainly to urgent or emergency care during the transition.

Independent information notice: MedicalPracticeUK.org is not Auchinairn Medical Practice, NHS Scotland or NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde. The practice is about to undergo a major clinical IT-system change, so appointment, online prescription, administration and registration arrangements are particularly time-sensitive in late September and October 2026. Use the official practice links above before relying on an immediate visit, medicine request or appointment plan.
