Check your site first
Newbattle has more than one public site. Your appointment confirmation matters more than the general practice name.

Mayfield and Danderhall are listed with different numbers. Use the number linked to the site you need.
Do not travel blindly
If your appointment is remote, eConsult-based or at another site, travelling to the building may waste time.
