If you are self isolating the GP will not issue you with a sickline for your employer. Instead you can access an isolation note directly from the NHS. This can be accessed here: https://111.nhs.uk/isolation-note
Please see important information at foot of page regarding the surgery’s current situation in light of the ongoing COVID-19 situation.
Please note prescriptions can not be collected from surgery so prescription requests must include preferred pharmacy. This can be added in “special medication request” box through our prescription request section.
We provide comprehensive NHS primary care services to help you manage your health and well-being.

Important Notice
Due to the current Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak we will be closing the doors to the practice and cancelling all routine appointments until further notice. If you have an appointment booked, you will be contacted by a member of our team and, where possible, you will be given advice by telephone.
If you are in need of medical advice, please telephone the practice during opening hours on 0131-552-5544 and your request will be triaged. It is very important that you provide the receptionist with your full symptoms to allow the doctor to prioritise call backs.
Please refer to www.nhsinform.scot for COVID-19 information
If you require medication currently being prescribed by your doctor, please e-mail your request to [email protected] providing us with your name, date of birth and list of all medications you require. We will be sending all prescriptions directly to a pharmacy of your choice so please also note your preferred pharmacy in your e-mail. We understand that not everyone has access to e-mail and we will take prescription requests over the telephone at this current time, but please use the e-mail service if you can as this will help free up the phone lines for more urgent calls. Alternatively you can post your prescription through the letter box on the brown wooden door to the right of the main entrance. Also use this door to post any samples you have been asked to provide.
Anyone requiring dressing changes, staple or stitch removal will be given an appointment with the practice nurse as normal. Please call reception for an appointment.
There will be no open access for blood tests and injections. Please call reception and request a booked appointment.
For any patients being asked to attend the practice you will be advised of which entrance you should use.
There will be two entrances as follows:
- The side door which is at the right hand side of the building just before the start of the car parking.
- Back entrance to the practice past the car park and turn in left between the practice and St David’s church.
IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT YOU ONLY ENTER THE BUILDING USING THE ENTRANCE YOU HAVE BEEN ADVISED TO USE.
PLEASE DO NOT ATTEMPT TO ENTER THE PRACTICE UNLESS ASKED TO DO SO BY A MEMBER OF THE TEAM
Thank you for your co-operation at this time
