Welcome to Dalkeith Road Medical Practice
Here at Dalkeith Road Medical Practice, we are a small, friendly, and approachable GP surgery, and believe in providing a warm and inviting environment for our patients. Our dedicated team of healthcare professionals are committed to delivering personalised care that meets your unique needs, whether you require a routine check-up or have specific health concerns.
We are here to provide attentive and compassionate medical attention Monday – Friday from 08:00 – 18:00.
ROUTINE APPOINTMENTS
We take bookings for telephone and in-person appointments up to four weeks in advance, therefore if your problem is not urgent we would be grateful if you could book ahead with your usual GP.
URGENT APPOINTMENTS
If your problem is urgent then you will be offered a telephone appointment for either the morning or the afternoon on the day you call and a GP will call you back. Please make sure you have your phone to hand as the GP may be unable to call you back if you miss the call. When requesting an urgent appointment the receptionist will ask you a few questions regarding your concerns to ensure you are directed to the most appropriate professional. Not all things need to be dealt with by a doctor and you may be navigated onwards to a pharmacist, optician or Minor Injuries Unit instead.
We also offer some evening appointments on a monthly basis (pre-bookable only). Please ask Reception for details.
