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.

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.
