- Contraception and cervical smears
- Travel health: please note that some vaccinations and malaria pills are NOT available on the NHS, but can be provided privately
- Annual influenza vaccination and COVID vaccinations
- Drug monitoring: blood tests for certain drugs like warfarin, rheumatology medication and cancer drugs
- Minor Injuries: can be treated on Jura. There is an A&E department at Islay and Jura Hospital
- Out of Hours care: At evenings, weekends and Public Holidays, contact NHS24 on 111 for advice. In an emergency, always ring 999
- Palliative care: looking after you at home if you are terminally ill
