We are open between 08:00 and 18:00 Monday to Friday.  

In order to obtain urgent medical advice outwith these times, please call 111.  Out of hours cover is now provided by Lothian Unscheduled Care Service.  The emergency call centre will answer your call and they will either:

• Arrange for you to speak to a doctor or nurse
• Invite you to attend the centre to be seen by the doctor
• Arrange a home visit if you are too ill to visit the centre
• Organise an urgent ambulance to take you straight to hospital

Further advice and information can also be obtained from NHS 24. Tel: 111 or www.nhs24.com

Out-of-hours services are generally busy so please think carefully before asking to see a doctor and only do so if you genuinely cannot wait until the surgery re-opens.

In an emergency you should call 999. Chest pains and / or shortness of breath constitute an emergency.
