Opening Times

The surgery is open between the hours of 08:00 and 18:00, Monday to Friday.

Please remember that on entering the building, there are two practices.  Reception for The Hopetoun Practice is to the left.

Please note that, in order to allow for essential internal communication and training purposes , the Practice will be closed every Tuesday  between the hours of 12.30 - 1.30pm.  The building will be locked, and all telephone lines will divert to an answering service that will give full details.  

It will also provide an alternative, mobile, telephone number in the event that someone needs to contact one of the doctors urgently, before the lines re-open at 1.30pm.  This should only ever be used for truly URGENT matters, and this will be strictly enforced in order to allow our administrative team protected time for this essential aspect of its work. 

GP appointments are normally available between the times listed below:

In addition, a number of short telephone consultations are available after the morning, and before the afternoon, surgeries.  Our receptionist will be happy to advise whether these might be an appropriate means of dealing with your problem.

Our Nurse clinics run between the following times:

Monday: 08:10 - 17:40

Tuesday & Thursday: 08:10 - 16:30

Wednesday: 08:10 - 17:00 

Friday: 08:10 - 11:40

When We Are Closed

Please do not ask to see a doctor out of hours unless you genuinely cannot wait until the surgery re-opens.
