Welcome to the Green Practice



Welcome to Stockbridge!

We are one of two GP surgeries based within Stockbridge Health Centre and offer comprehensive care at the heart of our community. We are proud to be part of the Stockbridge area. We have six GP partners and one full-time salaried GP as well as hosting junior doctors and medical students as part of their training.

The Health Centre accommodates a District Nursing team, Midwives, Health Visitors and a CTAC (Community Treatment And Care) team. You can call them directly on the numbers listed below:

District Nurses - 0131 260 9202
Midwives - 0131 286 5030
Health Visitors - 0131 260 9204
CTAC - 0300 790 6296

We welcomed our own in-house pharmacists and a physiotherapist in 2019 as well as a community link worker in 2023. This has improved how we direct our patients and has greatly enhanced the care we provide.

We are committed to delivering a high standard of care to our patients and both our clinicians and admin team are well-versed in the protocols and policies that govern the running of the practice.

COVID-19 VACCINE/BOOSTER VACCINE:


Please click here to visit the NHS Inform.scot website for the most up-to-date guidance regarding the vaccination programme or call the national helpline on 0800 030 8030 for advice or to book a vaccine appointment at one of the available clinics. There are also walk-in clinics available across Edinburgh and you can view this using the "Vaccine Hub" link below.

You can also visit the Lothian Vaccine Hub for more information on the vaccine roll-out, appointments and venues.

Vaccinations

GP practices will no longer be administering any vaccines and instead you will be directed to contact NHS Lothian's Health and Social Care Partnership (HSCP) who will help you arrange any appointments.

When you become eligible for a vaccination, a letter will most likely be sent directly to you (or to parents or carers). The most common vaccines are as follows:

  • People aged 70-79 are eligible for the Shingles vaccine and should contact the team if a letter has not arrived.
  • People aged 65 and over and those under 65 who fall into a risk group or have a serious medical condition are eligible for the Pneumococcal vaccine. Again, contact the team if you have not been invited by letter.
  • The HPV vaccine is given in schools to all S1 children are eligible men (up to the age of 45) who engage in sexual activity with other men. If you have missed a dose, make an appointment with the team.
If you are travelling abroad, you can check the Fit to Travel website to see what vaccines are advisable, check if you need anti-malarials and get advice on how to keep yourself well. If you need a consultation, you can book this at NHS Lothian's Travel Clinic.

If you or a family member has missed a vaccination, or all of the necessary doses, you should try to arrange this as soon as possible!
