Argyll and Bute Health and Social Care Partnership (HSCP) Community Treatment and Care (CTAC) Team located in Cowal is currently facing staffing challenges.
Under exceptional circumstances, to minimise service disruptions, local GP surgeries have stepped in to support the team deliver the service until 6 January 2025. As a result, some patients' CTAC appointments will be conducted by GP practices and the winter vaccination scheduled clinics will continue as normal.
Cowal CTAC service provides essential services such as drawing blood samples and routine vaccinations. The implemented service support measures have effectively ensured the continuity of services and highlight our successful close working partnership with local general practitioners (GPs) who continually work hard to provide high-quality care and services. The GPs' commitment will ensure that all residents continue to have access to essential CTAC services.
The HSCP extends its gratitude to our local CTAC staff, Bank Staff, Cowal Medical Practice and Church Street Practice for their exceptional support in sustaining the delivery of local CTAC services.
