The Save Our Surgeries group have led the community movement to save the two practices and are encouraging people to come along to the their two protest marches this month.
The first march from the Bowling Club to the Headland in Burghead will take place on Wednesday May 10 at 6.30pm.
A second protest will following the next week on May 17 at 6.30pm, where the group will march from Hopeman Harbour to the old Doctor's Surgery on Harbour Street.
The group are continuing their campaign ahead of the Integration Joint Board (IJB) meeting on June 26, where the board are expected to discuss closing the two surgeries permanently.
