The practice will be CLOSED between 12:30pm and 1:30pm each day.
We will also close 4 times a year for protected-learning time for half a day. Dates and times are on the Contact us page.
We want to reassure you that this causes no loss to our weekly appointment numbers offered. We have simply moved things around in the day. The emergency GP will still be available to contact on the usual number if you have an urgent health concern that cannot wait until we re-open at 13:30.
All teams will still be working hard. The clinical team will be completing home visits for housebound patients, onward referrals, checking and analysing of results and all other administration associated with managing the healthcare of our patients. The nursing team will be carrying out the administrative side of chronic disease management, such as diabetes, COPD and heart disease. The administrative team will be processing prescription requests, dealing with all incoming and outgoing communications from hospitals, carers, and third-party sectors as well as actioning requests from the GPs to and on behalf of patients.
This time will also allow us to receive regular training and communications as a team, to enable us to continue to deliver the best possible care and service to our patients.
Please call the practice after 1:30pm when we will be happy to help with your enquiry.
When we are closed during 12.30pm-1.30pm each day, if you have a medical emergency, please call 0131 337 6151 and follow the instructions or if you have a life-threatening emergency, please call 999.
