We welcome constructive suggestions on any improvements we could make, please contact Carol Stewart (Practice Manager) if you have any suggestions.

RIGHT CARE, RIGHT PLACE

This winter, please help us by getting the right care in the right place by:

• searching nhsinform.scot for self-help advice on common symptoms and a guide to local services and opening times
• visiting your local pharmacy first to help treat minor illnesses and for advice on medicines, some can even prescribe
• calling your local GP practice for routine or urgent care during normal opening hours
• contacting your dentist for dental problems or an optician for eye problems
• calling 111, day or night, for minor injuries advice and treatment or for urgent care when your GP or dental practice is closed
• dialing 999 or attending A&E only in a critical emergency

**IMPORTANT ** New practice location for Hermitage Medical Practice 

We are delighted to confirm that the practice will be operational from our new address, Balfour Pavilion, Astley Ainslie Hospital, 133 Grange Loan, Edinburgh, EH9 2HL , from Monday 31^st March 2025.

You do not need to take any action.  All patients will remain registered with the practice and you should continue to contact the practice as normal for appointments and GP services on 0131 447 6277.

It is likely that the practice will run a reduced open surgery for emergency telephone appointments only on Friday 28^th March and Monday 31^st March to allow the full decant to take place. The phonelines will remain fully operational on these dates.

Attached are some frequently asked questions to reassure you that this is a positive move for our patients and practice staff team.

Thank you for your patience and understanding during this time. We look forward to welcoming you in our new and improved home at the end of March.
