New Patient Registration

If you live within our practice area you can register with us. Our reception staff will be happy to guide you through the procedure.

You can download the patient registration form HERE

Then bring this to the Practice in person to register.

We’ll need proof of your address to confirm you live within the area we cover. 

We’ll need to see two forms of ID from you – one with your photograph, such as a passport or driver’s licence, and one with your address, such as a recent utility bill or bank statement.

As a guide, these places form our practice boundary:

Crarae Gardens, Minard

Ardtilligin, by Tarbert

Lochmelfort Hotel, Kilmelford

Portnasherrich, Lochawe

Cretshengan, by Ormsary

All new patients are asked to provide proof of any current medication, so we have an accurate record of any medication you are taking and can ensure your prescriptions are up to date.

You can receive medical treatment from the date you register.

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.

Temporary Registration

If you are ill while away from home but staying in our catchment area you will need to register as a temporary patient before you see a doctor.

You can register as a temporary patient for up to three months. You will be added to 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 the practice.

Contact reception to register as a temporary patient. We do not have to accept you as a temporary patient although we will always offer emergency treatment. You cannot register as a temporary patient at a practice in an area where you are already registered.
