Stewarton Medical Practice was formed in 1965 when Dr Tom Duke (who had taken over from Dr Lloyd, who practiced on her own) and Dr Peter McGeechan (who had taken over from Dr Bowman, who also practiced on his own) formed a partnership. They originally practiced from 18 Avenue Street in addition to, some years later, a branch surgery in Dunlop.
With the expansion of the town, Dr Peter Howie and Dr Ken Hambly came on board, and the practice moved to the newly constructed Stewarton Health Centre in 1978 where we are still based. There have been a few more changes since then. We currently have 10 GPs - 3 male & 7 female; 3 Practice Nurses; a Healthcare Assistant; 2 Management Staff, a Secretary and 8 Reception/Administrative Staff.

Our Healthcare Assistant is Maryjane who joined the practice in 2014. She is a very valuable member of the practice team who works in liaison with the doctors and nurses. The role of Healthcare Assistant does not encompass informed clinical judgement or decision making and if you request such during an appointment with our health care assistant you will be asked to make an appointment with a doctor or nurse.
Please respect others privacy by refraining from gravitating towards the glass whilst waiting to be attended to. When requesting an appointment or asking to speak to a doctor or nurse our receptionists have been instructed by the doctors to request a general explanation of your request. This is to help us deal with your request in the most appropriate and efficient way.
