Face-to-Face Appointments

All appointment and house-call requests after being signposted by our Patient Advisors, are telephone triaged by a GP. Everything will be dealt with over the telephone where we can, and face to face appointments will be allocated by the Doctor clinically appropriate.
Please be reassured that we continue to have emergency appointments available everyday so that patients who need to be seen that day will be seen.

Telephone Appointments

We operate a telephone triage system, where the GP will deal with what they can over the telephone, and allocate face to face appointments only if clinically necessary. We also offer pre-bookable workers appointments from 8-9am everyday.

Welcome to our Practice

South Beach Medical Centre is a large training practice situated in the town of Ardrossan on the Ayrshire coast. We recently relocated from South Crescent Road to brand new purpose built premises on Harbour Street, near the Ardrossan harbour. South Beach Surgery started nearly 80 years ago originally in Saltcoats then moved to 17 South Crescent some 40 years later and on 27th May 2014 we opened as South Beach Medical Centre in our new premises in Harbour Street. Over the years the practice has grown from a small 2-3 doctor group with branch surgeries in Stevenston and Ardrossan (Barr Street) to the present 7 doctor practice with practice nurses and full ancillary staff.
In 2002 we were awarded Training Practice status, allowing us to be involved in the teaching of medical students from Glasgow University and to take part in the professional development of qualified doctors wishing to become General Practitioners. The practice was also given a Practice Accreditation award by the Royal College of General Practitioners.
