Continuity of care is an important part of delivering general practice effectively. That's why generally speaking our patients will see the same GP regularly, building a relationship over time. That said, our GPs work as a team, and will all be able to deliver you informed and considered medical advice.
We deliver face to face general practice from a number of locations across the country, and you are welcome to consult face to face. However, our GPs can also consult over the phone or via video if more convenient for you.
Yes you should. All patients eligible for NHS care should maintain an NHS GP registration, even if you exclusively see your Mayfield Clinic GP. Your NHS GP maintains your primary patient record, and should you need to use any NHS services (such as NHS A&E), they will remain your registered practice.
You can either book online via the Book appointment button, or you can contact the Members' call line, Email or WhatsApp line during office hours, and our team will schedule an appointment on your behalf.
We prioritise appointment slots for Members, and will endeavour to offer same day appointments wherever possible.
Our Edinburgh practice is ideally positioned to serve patients from Kirkcaldy and the wider Fife area. The journey from Kirkcaldy to our clinic takes approximately 28 minutes via the A90 and Forth Road Bridge, making us easily accessible for residents across the region.
Patients travelling from Kirkcaldy can reach us by car via the M90 motorway, or by public transport using ScotRail services from Kirkcaldy station to Edinburgh Waverley, followed by a short taxi or bus journey to our practice. The route passes through Dunfermline and across the iconic Forth Road Bridge, offering stunning views of the Firth of Forth.
