IF YOU NEED HELP WHEN WE ARE CLOSED

Out of hours (that is between 18.00 and 08.00 hours, at weekends, and on public holidays) NHS Lothian is responsible for medical care. To contact this service please Phone NHS24 on 111            Website: https://www.nhs24.scot

Phone 111 for free if you think you need A&E but it’s not life or limb threatening. The 111 service can also help if you’re in mental health distress. NHS24 is available for advice 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.  

Call 999 in a medical or mental health emergency. This is when someone is seriously ill or injured and their life is at risk.
