Why some patients are struggling to get a GP appointment

When you are unwell or need support managing a condition, we know that you want an appointment with a GP or member of the practice team as quickly as possible and with a minimum of fuss. But, too often, that is something that practices struggle to provide.

Step 1: New Patient Registration Form

— New Patient Registration – Scotland – 01

When you want to register with a new GP practice, you’ll need to complete these details 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 won’t be traced.

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.

Do not complete this form for Temporary Resident registration — please contact the practice directly for Temporary Registration.

Will you be in the area for more than 3 months? *
If you will not be in the area for more than 3 months please contact the practice directly to register as a temporary resident.
