Reception & General Administration Staff

The Practice has a team of receptionists without whom the Practice could not function. They have a very difficult and often stressful job attempting to balance the needs and wants of the patients with the availability of appointments and services. Their responsibilities include making appointments, telephone answering, switchboard operating, filing, patient registration, form filling and preparing repeat prescriptions.

Physiotherapist

Rebecca Adam (currently on maternity leave)

If you are suffering from any bone, joint or muscle aches you can contact the practice physiotherapist.

She can:

  • Assess and diagnose what’s going on.
  • Provide advice and exercises to help you manage your problem or condition.
  • Refer you on to specialist services such as x-ray, physiotherapy rehab and orthopaedics if required.

To book, call the practice and ask for an appointment with the physiotherapist. Unfortunately the physiotherapist is unable to see children under the age of 16.

Community Treatment and Care Services (CTACS)

Community Treatment and Care Services (CTACS) provide services previously delivered by GP practices.  These may include wound care and dressings, suture removal, ear wax management, phlebotomy and other services too.  Some CTACS are involved in the delivery of vaccination programmes now that those have moved away from general practice.

Edinburgh CTACS are located in multiple hubs across the city, at the following locations:

  • Sighthill Health Centre
  • South Queensferry Medical Practice
  • Parkgrove Medical Practice
  • Pennywell All Care Centre
  • Stockbridge Health Centre
  • Leith Community Treatment Centre
  • Allermuir Health Centre
  • Conan Doyle Medical Practice
  • Mountcastle Health Centre
  • Tollcross Health Centre

Edinburgh CTACS offer a patient-focused booking system, meaning Edinburgh patients can access any of the clinics providing a more convenient service.

Patients can self-refer to Edinburgh CTACS by calling the CTACS patient-focused booking line: 0131-537-7205.

Patients can be referred or self-refer for:

  • All types of wound care
  • ear irrigation
  • Removal of sutures/clips
  • Unscheduled vaccination (via clinician referral), and
  • Doppler (ABPI) testing automated & manual (clinician referral only)
