Entitlement to NHS treatment

Anybody in Scotland can access primary care services at a GP practice without charge.

A GP must provide any necessary treatment in an emergency even if you’re not registered with them, but for anything other than emergency care patients need to be registered with us.

To register with us, you should be staying within our Practice boundary area for more than three months. If you’re staying within our Practice boundary area for less than three months you should register as a temporary resident.

To request that we register you at the Practice please read the information on the Registration section of our website, then fill in our online registration form. Hard copies are available via Reception if you prefer.

No documents are required to register with a GP.

If you have any questions about registration, please contact the Practice.

Medical emergencies

If you need immediate medical assistance (e.g. because of an accident) telephone 999. The call is free. An operator will ask you which emergency service you require (fire, police or ambulance). You will need to tell the emergency services what has happened and where you are. If someone is injured and needs to go to hospital an ambulance will arrive and take them to the nearest hospital with an emergency department

If you need urgent treatment but are well enough to travel please make your own way to the nearest Accident and Emergency Department.
