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

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

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

• identity
• address

This means you can be matched to your existing NHS records. You shouldn’t 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 with a GP practice if you’re staying in the area for more than 3 months. If you’re not, you may still be treated but as a Temporary Resident.

For more information on being treated as a Temporary Resident please contact your nearest GP practice.

As a parent, family member or carer, you may be able to access services, discuss medical matters and results for someone else. We call this having proxy access. We can set this up for you as long as the patient consents to their data being shared with you.

To requests proxy access, please collect a 'Patient Consent Form for the Sharing of Data' from reception from 8am to 5pm.

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.
