Please telephone the practice on 0131 556 8842 to book an appointment. The receptionist will ask you for some brief information and offer you an appointment (either telephone or face to face) with an appropriate clinician which may be a doctor. Depending on your symptoms you may be signposted to a primary care expert out with the practice such as a community pharmacist, dentist or optician. Some appointments are available on the day and in advance.
Group Practice
Eyre Medical Practice is a group practice. This means that you as the patient can choose to consult with any of the doctors working here and you are not restricted to having to see only one doctor.
If you are consulting regarding an ongoing problem, or where it is important to you that you see a doctor who knows you, then clearly we would encourage you to try to make appointments with whichever doctor you feel most able to help you, and try to see the same doctor where possible.
If, however, your problem is an urgent one that cannot wait for an appointment with your usual doctor, or where the problem does not need significant personal background knowledge, you can see any of the doctors available.
Home Visits
If you require a Home Visit, please telephone with the details to the surgery before 9am. Only request a Home Visit when you are too ill to attend the surgery or if you are very elderly and frail, terminally ill or housebound.
