New Patient Registration

When registering we require photo identification and proof of address.  You will be asked to complete a registration form for each person registering with the Practice.

If you are new resident to the UK or you are an overseas visitor then additional documentation is required – contact our reception team for more information.

If you move out of the practice area, you will need to re-register with a Practice in your area.

Patients are registered with the practice, not an individual GP.

Practice Boundary 

The boundary area for the Practice is as follows:

Along London Road to the top of Easter Road, down Easter Road (right side only), along East Hermitage Place and Claremont Park then onto Seafield Road along Seafield Road East and onto Sir Harry Lauder Road, turning right onto Milton Road West and Duddingston Road, through the village and along Queens Drive, past Arthur Seat then back onto London Road.

Please telephone reception, if you are unsure if you are living within the practice boundary area.

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.

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.

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 once registered 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. After three months you will have to re-register as a temporary patient or permanently register with that practice.

To register as a temporary patient simply fill out the form below or alternatively you can pick up a form from reception. You cannot register as a temporary patient at a practice in the town or area where you are already registered.
