You are welcome to register if you live within our catchment area, click here for details

To register permanently, you’ll need to complete a registration form. You can either:

• Download a registration form, complete it, and then email it to the GP practice
• Pick up a registration form from reception 

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

• identity (driving licence or passport)
• address (utility bill or bank statement)

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.

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

If you are ill while away from home or if you are not registered with a doctor but need to see one, you can receive emergency treatment from the local GP practice for 14 days. After 14 days you will need to register as a temporary or permanent patient.

You can be registered as a temporary patient for up to three months. This will allow you to be on the local practice list and still remain a patient of your permanent GP. A person is regarded as temporarily resident in a place if, when you arrive in that place, you intend to stay for more than 24 hours but not more than three months. When the three months have lapsed you cannot be re-registered with the practice as a temporary resident.

To register as a temporary patient simply contact the practice. Practices do not have to accept you as a temporary patient although they do have an obligation to offer emergency treatment. You cannot register as a temporary patient at a practice in the town or area where you are already registered.

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.
