If you stay within our practice boundary for more than 3 months, you may want to register with us as a permanent patient. Please download a registrations form by clicking on the following link https://www.nhsinform.scot/care-support-and-rights/nhs-services/doctors/registering-with-a-gp-practice and complete a New Patient Questionnaire and either email this to NHSH.gp55381-reception@nhs.scot.

Please note that we need those 2 forms for each member of the family.
More information on registering with a GP practice can be found here:
NHS Inform: registering-with-a-gp-practice
You are not registered with the practice until you have signed the GPR form and the GP partner has accepted your registration.
You will register 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.
We may ask you to come in for a new patient appointment, where 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.
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 our GP practice.
You can be registered as a temporary patient for up to three months. This will allow you to be receive treatment from us and still remain a patient of your permanent GP. After three months you will either have to re-register as a temporary patient or permanently register with us, if you are going to live permanently within the practice boundary.
To register as a temporary patient simply contact us to make an appointment. Prior (at least 30 minutes) to attending your appointment you will have to complete the temporary resident registration form (link below). This is to get your details on our system. We will also forward any treatment you have received to your permanently registered GP practice, as long as this is within the UK. You cannot register as a temporary patient at a practice in the town or area where you are already registered permanently.
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
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.

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.
