.  Aberdeen City Community Treatment & Care Clinics (CTAC) Community Treatment and Care Clinics (also known as CTAC) have been operating in Aberdeen since June 2022. This nurse-led service provides a specialist range of services across the city, some of which you may have been more familiar with receiving from a GP Practice e.g., blood tests, blood pressure checks, or wound care.

PRESCRIPTIONS

To reduce the footfall within the practice, we are encouraging all patients to sign up with a Pharmacy for collection of prescriptions. 

If you have a preferred clinic for collecting your scripts please contact the practice and we will arrange to have this setup.  This will mean when you order your scripts they will be delivered direct to the Pharmacy of your choice and you should attend there for collection.

Please allow 4 working days for collection from time of ordering.

ONLINE SERVICES

Online Services is an easy way to book appointments and order repeat prescriptions.  Please see tab to the right for more information on how to sign up for this Service.
