As a new patient to the practice, you will have been asked to complete a questionnaire at registration. If you are on repeat medications it would be prudent to arrange an appointment with a GP in plenty of time before your next prescription is due so we can get the correct medication onto your records.
New Patient Registration - click on the link below to complete the appropriate forms. The registration forms can be printed off and signed, then brought into the surgery with the relevant proof of identification. The consent form should also be printed off and signed. We would be obliged if new patients did not attend the surgery with registration forms before 9.30am or after 5.30pm. It would be helpful if patients could provide a copy of any repeat medications along with their registration forms.
Special Note for Patients registering from England
The process of transferring medical notes/records from England to Scotland is often a long one. It’s not uncommon for notes to take months to reach us. In a few cases it can take years and it is not unheard of for the occasional patient’s notes to never arrive, despite repeated requests by NHS Scotland to NHS England. We, therefore, suggest that before registering with us you ask your existing practice for a “full summary of your medical record” (an electronic copy preferable). You are entitled to ask for this and they are duty bound to produce this for you within 28 days. This record can then be passed to us and added to your patient record when you register here. This will help the GP provide continuity of care. We ask for this to be done before you register because once you have registered somewhere else, NHS England will remove you from your current GP’s system and it will no longer be available to them.
If you have been referred to a specialist in England such as an Orthopaedic Surgeon or ENT specialist and are on a waiting list, you will need to book an appointment with your new GP to discuss this, so that they can re-refer you in NHS Scotland as this does not happen automatically.
If you have any serious ongoing problems that you have been seeing a specialist for it can be helpful to provide copies of letters and scans relating to this problem as these can often take a very long time to reach us from NHS England.
