How to register

All new applicants are required to complete the forms below and return them to the Practice with a form of photographic identification (driving licence, passport etc). If you email these forms back to the practice, we will still require to see you in person along with your form of ID before they can be processed. The best method is to hand them back in person with your ID. 

You can download the forms from below or collect a copy from the Practice. Please complete a set of forms for each person applying. 

You can only register with a GP Practice if you are staying in the area for more than 3 months. If not, you can still be treated by us but this may be as an Immediate Necessary.

Repeat Medication

Before registering with The Maryhill Group Practice, please ensure that you have a minimum of 1 month worth of repeat medication. This can be obtained from your previous practice to allow time for your summary to arrive at the practice and your medication to be added to your file. We will not be able to process any urgent medication requests at the point of your registering with the practice.

Temporary Patient Registrations

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. You would be registered as an 'Immediate Necessary' in order to provide urgent medical help.

You can also be registered with us 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.  If you are in the area for longer than three months you would need to register as a permanent patient. 

To register as a temporary patient simply contact us and we can complete a form over the phone with you, or at the front desk. 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.
