New Patient Registration

Anyone living within the practice area can register as patient. The Health Board requires we collect proof of identity so please bring some suitable documents for each person registering.  You will need to complete a Registration form in person. sign it and hand it in to our Reception desk.

You will be asked to complete a New Patient Questionnaire which asks for some information about you such as any on-going medical conditions and any current medication you may be taking. This helps the doctors provide your care whilst we await transfer of your medical records from your previous practice.

If you move out of the practice area you must register as soon as you can with a new GP with a catchment area covering your new address.

Medical treatment is available from the date of registration. Please contact reception for further information.

Registering With The Practice

If you wish to register with the practice please visit us at the Green Wing in Clydebank Health Centre bringing with you two forms of identification which include your home address. You will be asked to complete and sign a registration form to confirm that the details are correct.

When you register you will also be asked to fill out a medical questionnaire. This is because it can take a considerable time for us to receive your medical records. Please download and complete Health Questionnaire and bring it with you to the Practice when you register.

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 practice for 14 days. After 14 days you will need to register as a temporary or permanent 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 contact the local practice you wish to use. Practices do not have to accept you as a temporary patient although they do have an obligation to offer emergency treatment. You cannot register as a temporary patient at a practice in the town or area where you are already registered.
