Cairnsmore Medical Practice

24/09/2026

We are participating in the Scottish Government’s Cardiovascular Risk Factors Programme to find those living with risk factors that they are currently unaware of, and to optimise early intervention and care, in order to reduce patients’ risk of developing CVD.

Many people do not know they are living with CVD risk factors. 1.3 million people in Scotland are estimated to have high blood pressure, but only 24% of adults with high blood pressure are treated and controlled.

We are now inviting patients aged between 35-60, who haven’t had a check (blood pressure, cholesterol, blood sugar, smoking, height & weight) in the past three years to make an appointment with our Health Care Assistant initially.

Once the checks are complete, we will be able to complete your individual risk assessment and offer any further support as required.

Please be aware there are currently 3-way traffic lights on the New Galloway Road and Masonfield Drive.

Please allow a little extra time for your journey and make sure you arrive in good time for your appointment.

Thank you!

🆕 Appointment Text Reminders 📱

We’re pleased to let you know that we will soon be introducing an SMS text reminder service for appointments.

If we have your mobile number recorded on your record, you may receive a text message reminding you about an upcoming appointment. This service is intended to help patients remember their appointments and reduce missed appointments. There will also be the option to text us directly to cancel any appointment you can no longer attend.

Please make sure we have your current mobile number. If your details have changed, please let reception know.

If you do not wish to receive appointment reminder texts, please let us know.

Thank you for your cooperation and for helping us to make the best use of our appointments.
