Welcome to West Calder Medical Practice

We provide comprehensive NHS primary care services to help you manage your health and well-being. We are a Group Practice based in purpose-built premises, with access for the disabled and ample parking. We offer a service to patients living in an area stretching along the A71 from Alderstone Road to Breich, limited by the River Almond to the North and the Pentland Hills to the South.

We are an accredited training practice. This means we provide additional training to qualified doctors who are undertaking specialist training to become a GP. They will be attached to the practice for a 6 or 12 month period. They may on occasion ask to record their consultation with you for their own training purposes to seek feedback from their supervisor. This is something that you can opt out of if asked. All recordings are kept securely and are erased after review with their supervisor. If you require any further information regarding this please speak to a member of our team.

We want to help you get the right medical assistance when you’re ill, injured or have a long term condition. Going directly to the person with the appropriate skills is important. This can help you to a speedier recovery and makes sure all NHS services are run efficiently.
