I have worked in Dumfries and Galloway since 1993. After completing my GP training in Lochmaben, I have worked as a locum in practices throughout the region before setting here in Castle Douglas in 2017. I am available for consultation on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday. I offer the full range of normal GP services including contraceptive implant fitting and removal, coil checks and removal but not insertion and I have recently trained to administer joint injections.

Emma works closely with your GP/ANP and will liaise with them about your care.  She can assess you and diagnose what's happening;  give expert advice on how best to manage your condition;  refer you for further treatment, investigations or specialist services if required.
