Accident & Emergency Cases
Our nearest accident and emergency department is the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh for adults and children 15 years and over and the new Royal Hospital for Children and Young People is for children under 15 years. If you have an accident which requires hospital investigation or X-ray you should proceed there directly.
Out-of-hours services are generally busy so please think carefully before asking to see a doctor and only do so if you genuinely cannot wait until the surgery re-opens.
In a genuine emergency you should call 999. Chest pains / shortness of breath or stroke symptoms constitute an emergency.
