Join the surgery

We will only register patients who have just moved into our catchment area.  Please telephone the Surgery and check with the receptionist.  To register permanently, you’ll need to complete a registration form. You can either:

• Fill out an online registration form
• Download a registration form, complete it, and then email it to the GP practice

When you register with us, it’s recommended that you provide information to confirm your:

• identity
• address

This means you can be matched to your existing NHS records. You shouldn’t be delayed or refused registration at a GP practice if you can’t provide identification or proof of address.

Once you have registerd with us you will be required to make an appointment with the Healthcare Assistant for a new patient examination.

Anybody in Scotland can access primary care services at a GP practice without charge.

You can only register with a GP practice if you’re staying in the area for more than 3 months. If you’re not, you may still be treated but as a Temporary Resident.

You can also use the Access to Healthcare. This is a GP registration card to help you register with a GP Practice. The card gives information on your rights to accessing healthcare. You can find the card on the Health Literacy Place website.

For more information on being treated as a Temporary Resident please contact your nearest GP practice.

As a parent, family member or carer, you may be able to access services for someone else. We call this having proxy access. We can set this up for you if you are both registered with us.

To requests proxy access, please collect a proxy access form from reception from 9am to 5pm.

Linked profiles in your NHS account

From 1st April 2015, practices are required to allocate all patients (including children) with a named accountable GP.

The named GP is responsible for the coordination and delivery of all appropriate services, where required based on clinical judgement, to each of their patients.

• Patients do not need to see their named GP when they book an appointment with the practice.
• Patients are entitled to choose to see any GP or nurse in the practice.
