There has been a large increase to the practice in recent months with patients asking for medications to be prescribed following consultation with a private provider. 

Please note, that all GPs in North West Edinburgh will not be providing private medication for any NEW patients with private providers. This applies to Adults and Children. 

This does not affect existing prescribing arrangements for those who already receive medication from us. Should you wish to receive your medication on the NHS, you must be seen by the GP or the appropriate NHS specialist. Please make a routine appointment to arrange a referal. 

The Practice will be closed on Monday 16th September 2024 for the local summer bank holiday. We will re-open at 8am on Tuesday 17th September

We now have a new form for patients you can complete at a time to suit you, if you need an extention to your exisitng sick line. Completing this form can often save up to 3 phone calls - the first one by you to the practice, the return one from the reception team to book a call with the GP who wants to speak to you, and then waiting for the appointment phone call itself! 

Completing this form with details of a returning to work plan, where appropriate, allows the GP to conisder your request in detail without needing to speak to you directly, making it more efficient for everyone! 

We hope this new service is of benefit to our patients as we work to improve our digital offering. 

All our patient forms can be found here - Patient Forms

The 10th to 16th June is National Carers Week. Carers Week is an annual campaign to raise awareness of caring, highlight the challenges unpaid carers face and recognise the contribution they make to families and communities throughout the UK. It also helps people who don't think of themselves as having caring responsibilities to identify as carers and access much-needed support.

This weekend, Friday 7th to Sunday 9th May, Taylor Swift is performing her Eras tour at Murrayfield National Stadium.

There are a large number of road closures around the stadium, which will impact on access to the medical practice. Please make allowances to arrive at the surgery in good time taking account of these road closures. 

Full details of the closures can be found here on the council website. Edinburgh gets Taylored – The City of Edinburgh Council

Our new wesbite is currently under construction, and should hopefully be easier to navigate around, and provide our patients with the information they need for their on going healthcare. If you have any suggestions for anything on the site, please let the practice manager know. 

We now have a translation option within the website for many languages, which is in the main menu next to the Home page link. 

Watch this space for more content coming soon.
