New Patient Registration

From Monday 2nd September 2024, with approval from the Health Board our Practice List is closed for registering new patients, for a 3 month period.  

Apologies for the inconvenience this may cause.

When the practice list is open again patients will be asked to complete a questionnaire and a registration form. They must also provide ID such as passport or driving license, and proof of address.

An appointment will then be made with the practice nurse for a new patient medical. If you cannot attend this appointment, you must inform the surgery as early as possible. Patients have the right to express a preference of practitioner at this consultation.

As of November 2016, only patients living in the G42 area will be accepted as new patients at the practice. If you move outwith the G42 area, please advise us as soon as possible and we can advise you on how to find the closest GP surgery to your new address.

Guide to GP Services

The Royal College of General Practitioners has produced a useful guide for patients about the services on offer at GP Surgeries and how to access them.  You can download the guide below.

Temporary Registration

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. After three months you will have to re-register as a temporary patient or permanently register with that practice.

To register as a temporary patient simply contact the local practice you wish to use. 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.
