Patients who have an urgent medical requirement to speak to a doctor that day will be able to access an appointment on the day.

Extended Access

We also have extended access available. See our Out of Hours information.

GP routine phone appointments can be booked up to one week in advance.

When the practice experiences demand for on-the-day appointments that is higher than expected and we have reached a safe maximum activity on that day and cannot offer any more appointments, reception staff will follow GP guidance to inform patients who contact the practice on what to do next, which may involve telephoning 111 for assistance or even attending A&E if appropriate.

How to book

Phone: 0131 322 9333 from 8:30am.

Whilst we encourage our patients to come to the surgery, where we have the proper equipment and facilities available, we do appreciate this is not always possible.

You may only request a home visit if you are housebound or are too ill to visit the practice. Your GP will only visit you at home if they think that your medical condition requires it and will also decide how urgently a visit is needed. Please bear this in mind and be prepared to provide suitable details to enable the doctor to schedule house calls

You can also be visited at home by a community nurse if you are referred by your GP. You should also be visited at home by a health visitor if you have recently had a baby.
