Registering with a GP Practice

How to register

When you want to register with a new GP practice, you’ll need to follow these steps to ensure that your new GP practice has all your medical history and your medical records.

If this is your first registration with a GP practice in the UK, medical records from outwith the United Kingdom will not be traced.

You can only register with a GP practice if you are staying in the area for more than 3 months. If you are not, you may still be treated, but as a Temporary Resident.

To register permanently with a general medical practice (GP practice) you will need to complete a registration form.

You can download this registration form, complete it, and then email it to the GP practice.  Please email it to nhsh.gp55893-reception@nhs.scot.

Unable to register

Sometimes, you may not be able to register with a GP practice, for example, if:

• you live outside the area that the practice covers (see our boundary below)
• the practice isn’t accepting new patients

You’ll need to register with another GP practice in your area instead.

It’s also important to note that 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.
