From Tuesday September 17th patients can contact the CWIC service directly on 0300 790 6292 if they have a new illness and are looking for a same-day appointment. There is no longer any need to call our reception team first. The CWIC service phone line is open from 08:30 to 10:30 Monday to Friday, except on public holidays.
The CWIC service can provide appointments relating to a wide range of issues, but there are a number of conditions that they cannot help with. Full details of these exclusions, and how the new CWIC Direct service operates, are available on our Appointments page.
The CWIC service is provided by East Lothian Health & Social Care Partnership, a division of NHS Lothian. It provides a same-day appointment service to patients in the Tranent, Mussleburgh, Cockenzie and Port Seton areas. The CWIC service is based in Musselburgh Primary Care Centre, which is next door to Tesco’s in Musselburgh.
