We have two sites - one based in Kilmarnock and a lovely village surgery in Kilmaurs.

We have a weekly clinical meeting on a Monday and regular PBSGL sessions for all clinical staff.

We are also a training practice and train FY2, ST1s and ST3s.

We have a health and wellbeing group, and we regularly get out and about on various fun challenges including kilt walk, climbing Ben Nevis, weekends in Arran, cold water therapy at Loch Lomond, yoga, theatre outings and we are currently planning our next adventure!

We are an Active Practice and also a Park Run practice.

We are located just a few minutes' drive from the Grassyards Interchange off the A77, within 20 minutes' drive of the southside of Glasgow and five minutes' drive from Crosshouse Hospital.
