The future is bright for GP patients in Dyce and Bucksburn following a successful intervention by their MSP Mark McDonald, securing local GP services.
Brimmond Medical Group announced in April that it planned to withdraw from its service contract, which left a number of local residents worried over whether they would still be registered with a doctor this October.
Following this news, Donside MSP Mark McDonald and Alex Salmond MP/MSP met for crunch talks with NHS Grampian Chief Executive Malcolm Wright and senior NHS staff seeking assurances that a long term solution would be found in the best interests of local healthcare provision.

They received a guarantee from healthcare bosses that GP services would be secured and all patients registered at local practices would have a doctor in place for 1st October. This was encouraging news for constituents, and NHS Grampian has worked hard over recent months to ensure that new arrangements have been effectively put in place.
The new Dyce Medical Praqctice, operating from Dyce Health Centre, opened on Thursday 1st October, with patients from Dyce, Newmachar and Hattan of Fintray.
