New Patients

Registration

Please ensure you live within our practice area by checking the map within the Documents section of this website and complete both forms within the Registration Pack also within this section. Registration documents are also available from the reception desk, which you would need to complete, or have someone complete on your behalf. You can also email your registration document, registration questionnaire and proof of identification (if available) to reception.s70747@nhslothian.scot.nhs.uk.

All patients who register must provide proof of identity. 

This can take the form of a driver’s licence, passport or birth certificate.  If you do not have any of these, please bring a utility bill, council tax book, lease, rent book etc, which must show your own name. If you have a NHS medical card please also bring this with you.  When the forms are completed please return them to reception and you will then be invited to see the Practice Nurse for a new patient medical review. 

Patients are registered with the Practice, not an individual doctor.  If you prefer a particular type of doctor e.g. female or male, we will do our best to respect your choice.  However, specific doctors may not be immediately available.

If you move out of the practice area, you will need to register with a new practice as soon as you move.

The practice will request the removal of any patient from the practice list who:

• are aggressive or abusive towards healthcare staff or other patients
• who damage practice property
• continue to fail to attend appointments despite two warning letters
• move out of the area, but refuses to register at another practice
