Annandale Medical Practice Appointments & Hours
Annandale Medical Practice is an Edinburgh GP surgery inside Bellevue Medical Centre on Huntingdon Place. The building is shared with another GP practice, so using the correct Annandale phone number and online route matters before you submit a form or arrive for an appointment.
This page focuses on the patient tasks most likely to cause delay: appointments and eConsult, opening hours, test-result timing, new registrations, repeat prescriptions and urgent help when the surgery is closed.

How to Request an Appointment at Annandale Medical Practice
Annandale keeps both telephone access and an online eConsult route. eConsult is designed to collect enough information for the practice to decide which healthcare professional or service is appropriate; it is not simply a button that instantly books a GP appointment.
Phone the practice
Call reception on 0131 556 8196 if you need appointment help, telephone advice, a nurse appointment or assistance that cannot be handled through the online service.
Start with eConsult
Registered Annandale patients can submit a structured online consultation for suitable medical problems and receive advice about what happens next.
Urgent medical problem
The practice’s online-consultation guidance says medically urgent problems should be raised directly with the surgery rather than relying on an ordinary online request.
What happens after an online consultation?
Complete the medical questions
Give accurate information about the problem, symptoms and relevant background so the practice can safely review the request.
The practice reviews your information
Annandale explains that the most appropriate next step may be GP care, pharmacy, physiotherapy, mental-health support or another healthcare route rather than automatically seeing a GP.
Watch for the response
The online service may contact patients by telephone, text or email. A practice call may appear as a withheld or private number.
Follow the next action offered
Depending on the clinical review, the next step may be advice, a prescription, telephone contact or an appointment.
Online access differs between Edinburgh practices. For example, Boroughloch Medical Practice uses AskmyGP, so do not assume another surgery’s online system or login will work for Annandale.
Who Can Use Annandale’s eConsult Service?
The online consultation service has eligibility rules because the practice needs access to the correct medical record before giving clinical advice.
Registered patients aged 16+
Annandale’s eConsult FAQ says the clinical online consultation service is for patients registered with the practice who are aged 16 or over.
Parents and legal guardians
A parent or legal guardian can use the service on behalf of a child over six months old for selected conditions.
Registered carers
The FAQ says a registered carer can use the service for another patient only where the practice has the patient’s written consent recorded.
Repeat Prescriptions
Annandale’s website confirms that its Vision Online service can be used to order repeat prescriptions. Its eConsult FAQ also makes an important distinction: the ordinary clinical eConsult service is not the route for routine repeat-prescription ordering.
Vision Online
The official homepage provides Vision Online login and registration links and lists repeat prescription ordering as an available online function.
Do not use clinical eConsult for routine repeats
The eConsult FAQ says routine repeat prescriptions should be requested through the practice’s normal repeat-prescription process instead.
Need an alternative?
If you cannot use the online prescription service, contact reception and ask for the current accepted alternative rather than sending medication requests through an unrelated form.
When to Call for Test Results
Annandale publishes a particularly specific results window, so calling at the right time can avoid an unnecessary repeat call.
Tuesday
Test results are given out by telephone between 10am and 12pm.
Wednesday
The published results telephone period is 10am to 12pm.
Thursday
Thursday also uses the practice’s published 10am–12pm result window.
Register with Annandale Medical Practice
Annandale’s current new-patient page uses electronic registration and limits how many applications it processes each week.
Check that Annandale covers your address
NHS 24 stresses that appearing near a postcode does not guarantee a practice serves that address. You must live within Annandale’s practice boundary to register.
Use the MiHealth registration route
The practice says it is participating in electronic registration through the MiHealth Portal. Create the required account and complete the information requested by the practice.
Be aware of the weekly capacity
Annandale currently says it processes a maximum of 40 registrations per week so it can manage patient demand.
Phone if you urgently cannot use the online process
The registration page tells patients who have an urgent reason they cannot complete the electronic process to contact reception for advice.
Know the Scotland-wide registration rule
NHS Inform says identity and address information are recommended to help match NHS records, but registration should not be delayed or refused simply because you cannot provide ID or proof of address.
Registration boundaries vary substantially across Edinburgh. If Annandale does not cover your address, compare the published process with the Morningside Medical Practice Edinburgh registration guide or the Hermitage Medical Practice Edinburgh guide only if those practices are geographically relevant to where you live.
Open official new-patient instructionsEmail, Non-Urgent Correspondence and Complaints
Annandale publishes an NHS Lothian email address, but its contact page places important restrictions around how patients should use it.
Non-urgent correspondence
The practice lists Clinical.s70499@nhslothian.scot.nhs.uk for non-urgent correspondence.
Do not expect an email reply
The official contact page says the practice does not respond to patients by email for confidential and legal reasons.
Complaint or concern
The practice says patients can ask reception for the complaints procedure or raise concerns with the Practice Manager.
Armed Forces and Veterans Recognition
NHS Inform currently lists Annandale Medical Practice among Scottish GP practices registered with the Armed Forces and Veterans Recognition Scheme.
Tell the practice if you have served
NHS Inform advises veterans to tell their GP practice about previous armed-forces service and any health condition directly related to service.
Service medical information
People leaving the armed forces may be offered an F Med 133 summary and can give this to their civilian GP to help communicate relevant medical history.
When Annandale Medical Practice Is Closed
Call 999 for an immediately life-threatening emergency or serious situation requiring emergency care.
Use 111 for urgent medical help when the practice is closed and the problem cannot safely wait but is not a 999 emergency.
A pharmacist may be the quickest first route for many common minor illnesses and medication questions.
Annandale is part of the wider NHS Lothian area. If you are moving elsewhere in the region rather than simply seeking urgent care, the South Queensferry Medical Practice guide is an example of how appointment, registration and prescription arrangements can differ even within the same health-board system.
