GP Consultation
Proposed re-establishment of a GP branch surgery, 50 Main Street, Caldercruix22 July 2026 to 12 August 2026
NHS Lanarkshire has received an application from Dr Ailish Glen, Principal GP at Centenary Surgery, Coatbridge, to re-establish a branch surgery at 50 Main Street, Caldercruix. The premises previously operated as a GP branch surgery before closing around 2014.
Dr Glen’s proposal is intended to improve access to GP appointments for people living in Caldercruix and Plains and would provide bookable appointments delivered by Centenary Surgery.
Before reaching a final decision, NHS Lanarkshire wishes to obtain the views of residents, patients, community organisations, healthcare professionals and other interested parties regarding the proposed branch surgery.
This engagement exercise will help NHS Lanarkshire better understand:
- current access to GP services for local residents;
- whether there is an unmet need that would be addressed by a Caldercruix branch surgery;
- potential benefits of the proposal;
- potential concerns or unintended consequences;
- the likely impact on existing healthcare services.
The results of this engagement exercise will be summarised in a Consultation Analysis Report which will be considered by NHS Lanarkshire as part of the decision-making process.
