The practice, which is located on the town’s Francis Street, is getting a major IT upgrade during the week beginning August 21.
From Tuesday until Thursday, services will work on a contingency basis, prioritising patients with urgent needs.
The practice’s prescriptions phone line will be closed during this time and NHS Western Isles is encouraging patients to reorder medication well in advance.
Patients can order prescriptions online.
