Please see below for details and your options
Sadly, Liz Caldow will be leaving us at the end of April and heading off to her well deserved retirement. Due to severe recruitment issues within the profession, we cannot yet get a new dentist to replace her. If you are an NHS patient, we DO NOT have the capacity to retain you as an NHS patient as we have only a limited amount of time each week for NHS registered patients, and the list is already full.
Options if Liz is your Dentist
If you want to remain an NHS patient, you will have to find another dentist that is taking on new NHS patients. NHS Ayrshire & Arran in conjunction with East Ayrshire Council publish a list of Dentists and their availability.
You can apply to sign up to our ‘care plan’ system. Places are limited and if approved, you will get 2 check-ups each year and 2 hygiene visits, these will usually be combined. If you need any subsequent treatment, as a care plan member you will be entitled to 10% discount off our private prices. You will pay a monthly subscription for an annual service and the cost is £18.60 per month by direct debit and you will no longer be registered as an NHS patient at the practice.
You can opt to ‘pay as you go’ and get your treatment as a private patient. You will no longer be registered as an NHS patient at the practice. Price lists are on our website or available at reception.
If you are currently a ‘Care Plan’ patient of Liz Caldow. Dr. Rhona Harrison will adopt you onto her list.
