Respect and Courtesy

Our team work hard to deliver the best experience for our patients, whilst balancing this with realistic expectations.  They deserve to be treated with respect.  If they are subjected to any form of threatening behaviour, be it verbal abuse or foul language, this will not be tolerated.  Patients will be warned via a formal letter from the practice manager that this behaviour is not acceptable and if there is a second instance beyond the warning, then we exercise the right to remove them from the practice list completely.  If there are any instances of physical threatening behaviour then the police will be contacted and the patient will be removed from our practice list immediately.

Pipeland is now a parkrun Practice!

Pipeland is proud to be associated with and support the St Andrews parkrun.  This is a free weekly 5km timed run in Craigtoun Country Park at 9:30am every Saturday.  For more information click here.

Pipeland organised a successful “parkrun takeover” on Saturday the 12th of November at Craigtoun Country Park.  Most of the volunteering posts were covered by Practice staff and there was a great turn out of runners – 181 people ran.  Well done everyone!
