As Christmas fast approaches, we'd like to ask for patience & kindness towards our practice team staff during these challenging times.

All of our reception staff are highly trained & are there to ensure they triage patients to the most appropriate person or service.

GP practices are busy, but there are now more ways for you to access the care you need, with appointments, face to face, over the phone or on video call. Watch this video from Dr. Peter Churn to learn more ⬇️

We’ve been speaking to GPs across Lothian to find out how they’re working given the pandemic restrictions, and what changes they’ve had to make to continue keeping people safe.

Please be considerate to receptionists.

Abusive behaviour causes mental and physical harm to healthcare workers, leading to time off work and less time with patients.

Unfortunately there has been a major Lothian-wide IT disruption at 16:40 on Friday 2/7/21. This means we have no IT access and are unfortunately unable to see any clinical work that we have yet to deal with. This includes appointments and prescription requests.
