NEW PATIENT REGISTRATION

New patients who live within the practice boundary are always very welcome. New patients need to complete a registration form. Please phone the surgery on  536 9898 and we will e-mail or post you a registration form. Complete the registration form and e-mail or post it back to us. (make sure you put your telephone number on the form).  The e-mail address to use is repeat.polwarth@nhslothian.scot.nhs.uk. Under normal circumstances we would ask patients to come into the practice to register, however, at this time we would ask that you don't come into the practice to register to avoid having too many people in our waiting room at the same time. Please phone and then use the e-mail address to register at this time. If for any reason you cannot register in this way then you may come into the practice between 10am-12noon,  Mon - Thurs to register. 

Existing patients who move within the practice boundary are welcome to continue as patients but please let us have your new contact details.

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 e-mails will be delivered to/received by the practice. No email can be secured by NHS Lothian until it has been received, so if you choose to send an unencrypted e-mail  to Polwarth Medical Practice you have accepted this risk. Alternatively, if you do not wish to return the form by email you can post it to us at the following address -

Polwarth Medical Practice, Tollcross Health Centre, 1st Floor, 10 Ponton Street, Edinburgh, EH3 9QQ.
