Welcome to Riverside Medical Practice

We’re a welcoming, high quality GP Practice based in the Musselburgh Primary Care Centre, close to Edinburgh. Like almost every GP Practice in Scotland, we’re an independent organisation contracted to provide NHS services to patients. Our dedicated, 50-strong team of doctors, nurses, allied health professionals and administrators work hard to provide excellent healthcare which meets the needs of each individual patient.
