Reception
Receptionists provide an important link for patients with the practice and are your initial contact point for general enquiries. They can provide basic information on services and results and direct you to the right person depending on your health issue or query. Receptionists make most of the patient appointments with the GPs and nurses. They also perform other important tasks such as issuing repeat prescriptions and dealing with prescription enquiries, dealing with financial claims, dealing with patient records and carrying out searches and practice audits.

Health Visitors
A health visitor is a qualified nurse or midwife who has completed specialist training in children and family health. They offer support and advice to parents and carers about the wellbeing of your child from when they are a baby until they start school.
Your Health Visitor will provide you with specialist up-to-date advice and support on many health and wellbeing topics such as your own wellbeing after the birth of your baby, contraception, assistance with the various aspects of being a parent, your child’s development, childhood immunisations, infant feeding, weaning, toileting, sleep advice, behaviours, dental care, safety and minor ailments your baby or child may experience.
The Health Visitors are supported in their teams by a Community Nursery Nurse. We also provide learning experiences for Student Nurses and Medical Students.
The Health Visiting team spend a lot of their working day on home visits so may not always be available, however we have an answer phone and will aim to get back to you as soon as possible if you wish to leave a message.

Community Midwives
Once patients are sure they are pregnant, the next step is to book an appointment with a midwife by calling NHS Lothian Maternity Services on 0131 536 2009. You can also find useful information by visiting https://services.nhslothian.scot/Maternity/Pages/default.aspx
The Community Midwifes are based at Pentlands Medical Centre. As soon as your pregnancy is confirmed they will provide you with all the care and information you will require to have a healthy, happy pregnancy. During your pregnancy they will arrange informal Parent Educational Classes where parents come together to share knowledge and experiences.

Community Nurses
Community District Nurses are employed by the NHS and provide nursing care for our patients who are housebound. They provide skilled nursing care in the patient’s home environment. The district-nursing sister will assess the patients health needs and arrange for nurses to visit accordingly. She will refer onto other agencies to ensure that the patient’s non-nursing needs are also met appropriately. District nurses work with patients and their families to provide care, advice and emotional support throughout the course of their illness.
