Emergency first: MedicalPracticeUK.org is an independent information website, not Murieston Medical Practice, NHS Scotland or NHS 24. Call 999 for a life-threatening emergency. If you need urgent medical advice when the GP practice is closed, call NHS 24 on 111.

Some older records give the premises as 5 Hamilton Square. The current NHS 24 directory omits a unit number, so this guide uses the current NHS wording rather than forcing an older unit number into the address.
Fast answer: Murieston Medical Practice is at Hamilton Square, Murieston South, Livingston, EH54 9JZ. The current NHS 24 listing gives the phone number as 01506 461 464 and normal opening times of 8:00am–6:00pm Monday to Friday. Saturday and Sunday are closed.
Why this page does not invent an online booking system
NHS 24 has a current February 2026 listing for the practice, but Murieston’s older standalone website could not be reliably retrieved during this verification. Current official sources accessible for this review do not publish a confirmed online appointment portal, repeat-prescription turnaround or test-result timetable.
For those changing details, this guide sends patients to the current practice telephone and NHS Scotland routes instead of copying an old workflow from another GP surgery.
Start here: match your task to the safest current route
“Currently closed” is a live status, not a permanent-closure notice. NHS 24 changes that label according to the service’s opening period. Use the weekday timetable above rather than interpreting the status label as meaning the GP practice has shut down.
Appointments: what can be safely verified
The current NHS 24 entry gives the practice telephone and opening times but does not publish a detailed booking workflow. Because Murieston’s older practice website was not reliably retrievable during this review, this page does not claim that appointments must be booked through an app, online form or a specific morning release time.
1
Call during the published weekday hours. Use 01506 461 464.
2
Start with the main problem. Tell reception whether you need a new appointment, follow-up, urgent help, medication issue, result discussion or another service.
3
Say if there is a timing or communication need. Mention if symptoms are worsening, you cannot use telephone/video technology, or you need language or communication support.
4
Follow the current route given by the practice. NHS Scotland GP teams may use telephone, video or face-to-face appointments depending on what is clinically appropriate.
Phone and video care in Scotland: NHS inform explains that many GP consultations can take place by telephone or NHS Near Me video, but not every problem is suitable. Murieston itself should decide which appointment format applies to your request.
Register with Murieston Medical Practice
NHS 24 states that GP registration depends on the practice boundary. A nearby result in the service directory does not automatically mean the practice can register your address.
1
Check whether Murieston covers your address. Use the NHS Lothian practice-boundary route linked from Scotland’s Service Directory or phone Murieston directly.
2
Ask how the practice wants the registration form submitted. NHS inform says Scottish patients normally complete the GP registration form and contact the chosen practice to confirm how it will accept the application.
3
Give accurate previous-GP and address information. This helps Practitioner Services trace your existing health record and CHI information.
4
Wait for confirmation. NHS inform says the practice should tell you by telephone or email whether the application has been successful.
ID and proof of address: NHS inform recommends providing information that helps confirm identity and address, but says registration should not be delayed or refused simply because you cannot provide identification or proof of address.
Staying for less than three months? You may need treatment as a temporary resident instead of permanent GP registration.
Repeat prescriptions: confirm Murieston’s current route
A current Murieston-specific repeat-prescription ordering method and processing period could not be verified from accessible official practice pages. That means this guide does not copy a “48 hours”, “2 days” or “3 days” rule from another Livingston surgery.
Existing repeat system
If Murieston has already given you an online, paper or community-pharmacy repeat process, continue to use that agreed route unless the practice tells you it has changed.
Unsure what to use?
Call 01506 461 464 and ask which repeat-prescription route currently applies to your record.
Serial prescriptions in Scotland
NHS Scotland’s Medicines, Care and Review Service allows some people with long-term conditions to manage medication through a registered community pharmacy using serial prescriptions. Your GP remains responsible for your medical care and can change or stop a serial prescription when clinically necessary.
Do not use Murieston Pharmacy’s private app as proof of the GP practice’s ordering method. The pharmacy is a separate healthcare provider next to the GP practice. Use the pharmacy app only for services you have arranged with that pharmacy.
Test results and follow-up
No current Murieston-specific result-release timetable was verified from accessible official pages. Different investigations can also take different lengths of time.
1
Check who ordered the test. If a hospital or specialist requested it, that team may be responsible for the result and follow-up.
2
Follow any timeframe you were given. Use the date or instructions provided when the test was arranged rather than a generic internet timetable.
3
Contact Murieston if the GP practice ordered it and you need clarification. Call 01506 461 464 during practice hours.
No invented turnaround: this page intentionally does not state that all blood, urine, imaging or pathology results are available after a fixed number of days.
Murieston Pharmacy and Pharmacy First Scotland
Murieston Pharmacy is separate from Murieston Medical Practice. NHS 24 lists the pharmacy at 2A Hamilton Square, Murieston, Livingston, EH54 9JZ.
NHS Pharmacy First Scotland is available through community pharmacies for many minor illnesses. You usually do not need an appointment, and the pharmacist can provide advice, treatment where appropriate, or direct you to another healthcare professional.
Do not transfer the pharmacy’s facilities to the GP practice. NHS 24 specifically lists wheelchair access for Murieston Pharmacy; that does not prove every access feature of the separate GP premises. If GP accessibility is essential, confirm it directly with the surgery before travelling.
Yes. The current NHS 24 directory lists Murieston Medical Practice with contact details and normal opening hours, updated on 19 February 2026.
Older web material can be confusing because NHS Lothian began a procurement process in 2023 after the previous single-handed contractor gave notice of retirement. West Lothian Integration Joint Board later reported that GP services transferred to a new general-practice partnership during 2023/24.
Murieston Medical Practice LLP was incorporated in March 2024 and remains active on Companies House. This is why old pages naming the previous sole practitioner should not be treated as a current staff directory.
Patient takeaway: the provider transition is historical context, not a closure notice. For current appointments, use the NHS 24-listed number 01506 461 464.
CQC rating? Not for this Scottish GP practice
Murieston Medical Practice is in Livingston, Scotland. The Care Quality Commission (CQC) regulates health and adult social-care services in England, so an English-style CQC GP rating should not be copied onto this page.
For current Murieston information, the appropriate sources are NHS 24, NHS inform, NHS Lothian and the practice itself.
Schema follows the same rule: this page does not create a fake CQC rating, patient-review score or AggregateRating for Murieston Medical Practice.

How do I book an appointment at Murieston Medical Practice?
Call 01506 461 464 during the published weekday opening hours. A current practice-specific online appointment system could not be verified from the official pages accessible during this review, so this guide does not direct patients to an unconfirmed portal.
Is Murieston Medical Practice still open?
Yes. NHS 24 has a current Murieston Medical Practice listing with telephone, address and weekday opening times, last updated on 19 February 2026. Older information about the previous GP contractor’s retirement relates to a historical provider transition, not closure of the GP service.
How do I register with Murieston Medical Practice?
First check that your address is inside the practice boundary. Then contact Murieston to confirm how it wants the NHS Scotland GP registration form submitted. NHS inform says you should be told by telephone or email whether registration has been successful.
How do I order a repeat prescription?
A current Murieston-specific repeat-prescription method and processing time could not be safely verified. Continue using any repeat process already agreed with the practice or your community pharmacy, or call 01506 461 464 to confirm the current route.
How do I get test results from Murieston Medical Practice?
If the GP practice ordered the test, contact Murieston on 01506 461 464 using any timing instructions given when the test was arranged. This guide does not publish a fixed result turnaround because no current practice-specific timetable was verified.
Can Murieston Pharmacy help without a GP appointment?
Yes, for suitable problems. Murieston Pharmacy is a separate community pharmacy at 2A Hamilton Square and NHS 24 lists NHS Pharmacy First Scotland among its services. Pharmacy First can provide advice and treatment for many minor illnesses without a GP appointment.
Does Murieston Medical Practice have a CQC rating?
No English CQC GP rating should be applied to this practice. Murieston Medical Practice is in Scotland, where CQC is not the regulator for GP services. Use NHS 24, NHS inform, NHS Lothian and the practice for current information.
What should I do when Murieston Medical Practice is closed?
Call NHS 24 on 111 if you need urgent medical help that cannot wait until the practice reopens. Call 999 for a life-threatening emergency. For suitable minor illnesses, NHS Pharmacy First Scotland may also be available through an open community pharmacy.
Independent information notice: MedicalPracticeUK.org is not Murieston Medical Practice, Murieston Pharmacy, NHS Scotland, NHS Lothian or NHS 24. Appointment methods, prescription processes, registration capacity, staff and service arrangements can change. Where a current Murieston-specific process could not be verified, this page deliberately avoids guessing and directs patients to the current practice or NHS Scotland route.
