New centre opening soon!
The centre is easy to reach for those in nearby Leith – which is just a few minutes walk away – and those at The Shore and Newhaven due to its close proximity to the McDonald Rd tram stop. It's also handy for those living or working in the east side of Edinburgh.
"We've been planning to open a centre that is more convenient for the people of Leith for some time," said Professor Ewan Gillon, clinical director of First Psychology. "It's great to see our plans come to fruition and we hope to continue to build our provision in this area so we can better meet the needs of Leithers and those who live and work nearby."
