Re: Referral for steroid injection in practice
You have recently been referred for a therapeutic steroid injection by a practitioner based within a Barclay Medical Practice site. Your referral will be assessed for clinical safety and you will be allocated an appropriate appointment based on this.
These appointments are allocated by a central team and you will receive contact from them in relation to an appointment dependent on clinical availability. We have several clinicians throughout our sites who can carry out these procedures and you will be allocated an appointment with them.
We have three sites within Lothian with trained clinicians able to carry out these procedures:
Barclay Medical Practice East Craigs (10 Bughtlin Market EH12 8XP)
Barclay Medical Practice Livingston (Carmondean Health Centre, EH54 8PY)
Barclay Medical Practice Fauldhouse (Fauldhouse Partnership Centre, EH47 9JD)
If you are able to attend a site other than the practice you are registered with please let your practice know as this may increase availability of appointments.
If you are unable to attend the appointment please let the practice know with as much notice as possible so that the appointment can be allocated to another patient. Short notice cancellations will be treated on a case by case basis and you may be placed at the bottom waiting list if we do not have adequate notice to fill the appointment, resulting in a wasted consultation. If an appointment has been arranged for you and you do not attend without prior notice you will be removed from the waiting list.
