New Patient Registration

If you live within our practice area you are welcome to register with us and our reception staff will be happy to guide you through the procedure. Eligibility can be quickly confirmed from your address so it would help if you could provide proof by way of a recent utility bill.

As a guide, the boundaries of the catchment area are The Mound, The Dornoch Bridge and the village of Spinningdale.

You will need to complete a registration form (registration form) and a health questionnaire which will provide useful information whilst we wait for your medical records to arrive from your previous doctor.

Medical treatment is available from the date of registration. Please contact reception for further information.

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.

A Patient Guide to GP Services

Non-English Speakers

These fact sheets have been written to explain the role of UK health services, the National Health Service (NHS), to newly-arrived individuals seeking asylum. They cover issues such as the role of GPs, their function as gatekeepers to the health services, how to register and how to access emergency services.

Special care has been taken to ensure that information is given in clear language, and the content and style has been tested with user groups.

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. You will need to register as a temporary 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.

This applies to illnesses and injuries arising while you are away.  Long term prescriptions and management of long term illness must be done by your own GP.  Your medical records and blood tests are not available to doctors seeing you as a temporary patient so it is not safe for them to prescribe long term medication such as blood pressure treatment for you. 

You should take enough medication from your own practice to cover your holiday.  If more is required it should still be obtained from your own practice.  Prescriptions may need to be faxed or posted.

To register as a temporary patient please contact the practice.
