About

The Hoy and Walls Health Centre is situated in Longhope and is part of the Orcades Practice.

Normally emergency evacuation is by ferry and very infrequently by helicopter. GP’s are on 24/7 with support from the nurse Monday to Friday 8.30am to 5.00pm. There is a separate volunteer team of ambulance crew working alongside the medical team but managed by SAS

We are a small team (but perfectly formed): three GPs working in rotation, one nurse, two receptionist/ administrators. We are supported by some visitors from the mainland, such as a health visitor. About a third of the time we have a medical student from Dundee University or elsewhere.

Appointments

We see patients by appointment:

  • at the Health Centre in Longhope Monday to Friday
  • in patients homes if needed.
  • The GPs visit patients routinely at home alternate Fridays at the Hoy end

We prefer to see patients at the surgery if possible as we have more resources there.

To make an appointment to see the doctor or nurse please phone reception on 01856 701209.

Emergencies

If the surgery is closed and you need the doctor in an emergency, please phone the Balfour Hospital switchboard on 01856 888000 and ask the operator to bleep the Hoy GP.

The nurse works during the day Mon-Fri. There is no nursing service in the evenings, overnight or at weekends.

Home Visits

If you need a home visit because you are unable to travel to the surgery please phone reception on 01856 701209 - a visit from doctor or nurse, whichever is more appropriate, will be arranged.

Telephone and Video Appointments

Both doctor and nurse are happy to discuss things on the telphone or by video. Please phone reception and one of them will call back, usually towards the end of the morning.
