Routine consultations are by appointment only and are made by phoning the surgery on 01224 586829 between 8am and 6pm Monday to Friday. Albyn also encourages eConsult for online consultation, with routine eConsults processed within 2 working days and urgent matters prioritised by the triage team.
| Route | Best for | What to prepare | When not to use |
|---|---|---|---|
| Phone 01224 586829 | Routine appointment booking, urgent same-day practice help, home-visit requests and access support. | Name, date of birth, symptoms, duration, urgency, medication, preferred clinician if relevant, and callback number. | Do not wait on routine reception if symptoms are life-threatening. Call 999. |
| eConsult | Online clinical questions, admin requests, sick note requests, photos for certain skin conditions, and non-emergency triage. | One clear problem, full answers, preferred pharmacy if medication may be prescribed, and useful photos only when appropriate. | Do not use eConsult for emergency symptoms or when the portal is closed and help is urgent. |
| Telephone consultation | Ongoing discussion, test results or advice where a pre-arranged call is suitable. | A working phone number, availability window and reason for the call. | Not ideal if a physical examination is likely needed. |
| Urgent same-day request | Problems that cannot wait for a routine appointment. | Explain the problem clearly to reception so the doctor can prioritise urgency. | Use NHS 24 / 111 out of hours, and 999 for emergencies. |
| Pharmacy First Scotland | Minor illnesses such as sore throat, earache, cold sores and some common clinical conditions. | Symptoms, duration, allergies, medication and pregnancy status if relevant. | If symptoms are severe, worsening, complex or emergency-level. |
Appointment length tip: the official appointments page says most appointments are 15 minutes long. If your problem needs longer, tell reception when booking.
What reception may ask
Albyn says trained reception staff ask questions about the nature of your problem so they can direct you to the most appropriate healthcare professional, such as a GP, nurse practitioner, practice nurse or pharmacy team.
How to cancel
If you cannot attend, tell the practice as soon as possible. Albyn also says patients can reply to appointment reminder texts or email gram.albynweb@nhs.scot, ideally with at least one day’s notice.

Repeat prescriptions, Patient Access and pharmacy collection
Albyn’s prescription page says website ordering using Online Access stopped from 2 February 2023 and the practice now exclusively uses Patient Access for that online route. It also lists several ways to request repeat prescriptions and says to allow 4 working days for collection from the time of ordering.
Patient Access
Use Patient Access if you are registered for it. If you need help registering, the practice says to phone 01224 586829.
Prescription message line
Leave a 24-hour message on 01224 565400. Speak clearly and give your full name plus medicine name and strength.
Post or in person
You can use the right-hand side of your last prescription, post the slip, or leave a request in the box beside reception.
Preferred pharmacy
The practice encourages patients to sign up with a pharmacy so prescriptions can be sent direct to the pharmacy of choice.
Allow 4 working days
Do not request at the last moment. Order earlier before weekends, bank holidays, Christmas, New Year or travel.
Private medication caution
The practice links to NHS Grampian guidance and notes that GP practices are not obliged to prescribe privately recommended medication on the NHS.
Good prescription request: include full name, date of birth if asked, exact medicine name, strength, dose, how many days you have left, preferred pharmacy and whether anything has changed. If missing medication could cause harm, say so clearly.
Sick notes, test results, records and admin requests
Fit note / sick note
Albyn’s sick note page says if you are off work sick for seven days or less, your employer should not ask for a doctor’s certificate. For more than seven days, your employer will normally ask for a GP medical certificate.
You can request a sick note or additional sick note through eConsult.
Medical record sharing
The patient-record page explains that sharing GP data with other health providers requires patient consent and should be on a need-to-know basis.
Home visits
The appointments page says to request a home visit before 10:30am on 01224 586829 and provide details so the doctor can assess urgency.
NHS 24, urgent help and 999 near Albyn Medical Practice
Routine GP and eConsult routes are not emergency services. In Scotland, use NHS 24 on 111 for urgent non-emergency care when your GP, pharmacy or dental practice is closed, or when you think you need A&E but it is not life or limb threatening.
Call 999 now
Use 999 for life-threatening symptoms such as chest pain, stroke signs, severe breathing difficulty, severe bleeding, severe injury, seizures or severe allergic reaction.
Use NHS 24 / 111
Phone 111 for urgent care when the practice is closed or you are too ill to wait, but it is not a life-threatening emergency.
Try Pharmacy First
For minor illness, Pharmacy First Scotland may help with advice, treatment or referral without a GP appointment.
Do not wait for eConsult if someone may be seriously ill, injured, having a heart attack or stroke, struggling to breathe, bleeding severely, having a seizure, or at risk of immediate harm. Call 999.
