how To register with the Practice

The practice team welcomes you and trusts that they will be of service to you.

If you would like to register with us as a permanent patient (and you stay in the area for more than 3 months), please print the GPR form and make sure you fill it in completely and sign it.

Also please print the new patient questionnaire.

Please note, if you want to register other family members, we need a
GPR form and questionnaire for each member of the family. We need your signature, therefore we cannot accept emailed or faxed applications. Please hand the forms to us in person. You will be asked to provide proof of identity.

If you are not registered with us, but need to be seen as an emergency or as a temporary resident, please fill in the TR form and either print it out and take to our reception desk or email/fax it to us prior to your appointment. Please note that administrative staff needs time to get your details on the clinical system before you can be seen by the GP or nurse, so to avoid a delay in your appointment please allow at least 1/2 hour before your appointment or ideally hand in the form as soon as possible.

You will be offered an appointment for a new patient medical examination with a practice nurse or a health care assistant, so that a brief history of previous illnesses can be taken and routine checks of blood pressure etc may be made. The information gathered at this examination is important because it may be some time before your previous medical records are sent to the practice.

You will be registering with the practice, not with a particular doctor. You may ask to see a particular doctor if you wish, but this may mean a longer wait for an appointment. Please note that we need to register new born babies as soon as possible.

EMERGENCY CARE SUMMARY

WHAT IS AN EMERGENCY CARE SUMMARY (ECS)?

All patients in Scotland have, or will have something called an Emergency Care Summary.

This is a summary of basic information about your health which might be important if you need urgent medical care when your GP surgery is closed, or when you go to an accident and emergency department. It means that all NHS staff looking after you can get important information about your health, even if they cannot contact your GP surgery.  Read more HERE

FACILITIES FOR DISABLED PATIENTS

There are designated disabled parking spaces in front of our building and the surgery’s main entrance has a ramp for wheel chair access. The surgery is a single storey building so wheel chair access is possible to all our consulting rooms. The surgery has a designated disabled toilet as well as toilet facilities for the able-bodied.

carers

The practice is keen to identify any patients who are carers. Should any patient think that they fall into this category, they should speak to either their GP or the Business Manager for clarification.
