About us
Report
We're a long-established medical practice in Musselburgh. We're continually innovating and expanding our practice, so we can provide excellent healthcare that meets the needs of each individual patient. We work in partnership with NHS Scotland to deliver the health services our community needs. Like almost every GP surgery in the UK, we're an independent organisation that's contracted to provide NHS services.
Appointments
Report
For GP appointments: please call from 8am Monday-Friday on 0300 790 6266 - we're currently running a same-day service for GP and CWIC team appointments and these tend to be fully booked by mid-morning each day. For nurse appointments or for blood tests: please call 0300 790 6266 after 10am - these can be booked around 8-10 weeks in advance.
Test results
Report
If you've had blood tests, X-rays or other tests organised here at the Practice, always call us to check your results. Most tests take about a week to come back with a result and for the doctor to review them, although a few take two weeks or longer. Please call after 10am or at a quieter time such as the afternoon.
Urine samples
Report
We can only accept urine samples that have been requested by a clinician - that could be one of the doctors or nurses here at the Practice, or by another healthcare professional working somewhere else. Please ask one of our Reception team for the form. Urine samples must be brought by 3pm, as samples are collected and taken to the laboratory at this time.
Collection & drop off times
Report
Allocating these set times mean we can have extra staff in reception at these times only, which allows the most people possible to be upstairs in the call room answering patient phone calls at other times. Please note that we can't book GP appointments at the front desk, please call us to book an appointment.
