Important: If you need help when we are closed

Students living on Campus should, in the first instance, contact Safeguarding Services via the SafeZone App.

If you need medical help now, use NHS 24 or Call 111.

NHS 111 online is for people aged 5 and over. Call 111 if you need help for a child under 5.

Call 999 in a medical or mental health emergency. This is when someone is seriously ill or injured and their life is at risk.

Email the Practice

** If advised to send photographs by your GP please do not send anymore that 2 pictures and please DO NOT send any of intimate areas **

 

Please note - Sending unencrypted emails is unsafe - You do so at your own risk.

As emails travel across the public internet, they can be intercepted.  As such, there is no guarantee the emails will be delivered to/received by the Practice.  No email can be secured by NHS Lothian until it has been received, so if you chose to send an unencrypted email to the Riccarton General Practice you have accepted this risk.

The total size limit for an email is 20MB, therefore attachments cannot exceed 13MB per email.  Emails will not be received if they exceed these limits.

Before you send any communication to the Practice via email, please click the link below and read the information regarding consent:
