You may find our eConsult helpful for advice. All appointments currently need to be booked by calling reception so that we can direct you to the most appropriate appointment.
An eConsult is not a replacement for a telephone or face-to-face appointment.
This service is only available between 8am and 5pm Monday to Friday, it will be suspended over public holidays.

Non-urgent advice: Practice Signposting System
This Practice uses a signposting system to prioritise requests for appointments so that we can direct you to the appropriate healthcare professional and reduce your wait for an appointment. Our Reception staff will ask you to give a brief reason for the appointment, which is at the GP’s request. Please see our signpost guide which will help you find the best person to deal with your medical problem along with clarification on why the receptionist may ask you some questions when you call to make an appointment with us. We appreciate your help with this.

Non-urgent advice: Polite Notice to New Patients
Please do not call the practice regarding registering with us. All the information is on this website.
Sick patients cannot get through as the phone lines are being clogged up with registration queries.
If we have any queries on your registration details the we will contact you direct within the next month. It takes up to 5 days for your registration to be processed. If you do not hear from us then your registration will have been successful. Please do not call or email us to check this.
These are not required in Scotland so you will not automatically be issued with one of these. If you do need this then there will be a delay in provision of this at this busy time.
If you need this for insurance purposes then we can provide you with a letter but this is private and not NHS work so a charge will be made for this. This is not a priority for us to provide this and so there may be a delay of up to 40 days or longer before we can provide this.
There are many medical problems which you do not need to see a doctor about, which can be dealt with quickly. Please see our attached signposting poster for help you can access before considering if you need a doctor.
If you need to make an appointment with us to see a healthcare professional, please telephone our reception on 0131 650 2777. Although we cannot respond to clinical queries by email due to patient confidentiality reasons, if you have a general query you can send this via eConsult which you will find on the website.
Please ask reception staff for details of how to book an appointment online to speed up this process in future.
We are registering new patients who live within our practice area via our Campus Dr electronic registration process link.
We only accept applications electronically at present. Once we have reached our maximum number of registrations the system will not take any more. Please do try again another day.
Queries by email or by phone will not be dealt with so please do not call or email us as you are preventing patients requiring clinical attention from getting this promptly by blocking our phone/email forums. You can try to register with another practice as we are unable to register all students. See NHS Inform website for options of practices covering your address. If you continue to be unable to register please email NHS Lothian at [email protected]
