New walk in service for local cluster
A new walk-in GP service is opening at the Wester Hailes Healthy Living Centre, 30 Harvesters Way, Edinburgh, EH14 3JF on Tuesday 10 February 2026.
This is a pilot service run by NHS Lothian and Edinburgh Health & Social Care Partnership and funded by the Scottish Government.
As a patient with our GP practice, you can use this service if you are unable to get, or attend, an appointment with us as usual.
The walk-in service will be open from 12 noon to 8pm, seven days a week, and does not require an appointment.
It is suitable for patients who have urgent conditions such as new fever, pain, rashes, skin conditions, respiratory problems, gynaecology concerns or abdominal symptoms
Depending on clinical need, you may be seen by a GP or Advanced Nurse Practitioner. As the pilot progress, musculoskeletal physiotherapy will also be available.
The service is not for medical emergencies, minor injuries, mental health assessments, routine care, long-term conditions, repeat prescriptions or medicines management. In these circumstances, please continue to access the right care in the right place:
• Always call 999 in an emergency
• Call 111 to be scheduled a minor injuries appointment
• Consult your GP practice for pre-diagnosed conditions and ongoing care
• Visit your local pharmacy first for minor illnesses
• Go to NHSinform.scot for online advice about minor ailments
• If both your GP practice and the walk-in service are closed, call 111
If you attend with a condition that is not urgent or is better treated elsewhere, you will be redirected to the most appropriate service.
We would like to thank our patients for their continued support during this time. All staff are continuing to work under extreme pressure. We aim to provide the best service we can in these difficult times. We would kindly ask that you are patient with all our staff.
