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

• Download a registration form, complete it, and then bring it to the GP practice

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

• identity (photo I.D - e.g. passport/drving license)
• address (e.g. utility bill/bank statement)

This means you can be matched to your existing NHS records. You could 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.

You can only register as a temporary resident with a GP practice if you’re staying in the area for less than 3 months and are requiring a clinican appointment.   

For more information on being treated as a Temporary Resident please contact the 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 and the patient gives consent. Please speak to a member of the admin team.

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.
