New Patient Registration

We are accepting registrations of a baby if the parent is currently registered with the Practice and members of the public who come to live with a patient currently registered with the Practice.  Otherwise, if you move to live in Burntisland and wish to register with us please make enquiries at Reception. 

Patient Responsibilities

Patients are expected to keep appointments or notify reception in good time if they wish to cancel an appointment.  Repeated failure to do this, and also any abusive or violent behaviour to any member of staff will result in the patient being removed from our list and asked to register with another Practice.  If there is a change of personal details e.g. name, address, telephone number, please contact the Practice so we may update our records.  Please see the Practice Charter for additional information.

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, which includes a link to the Registration Form.

Non-English Speakers

These fact sheets have been written to explain the role of UK health services, the National Health Service (NHS), to newly-arrived individuals seeking asylum. 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.

Special care has been taken to ensure that information is given in clear language, and the content and style has been tested with user groups.

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.

You can be seen as a temporary patient for up to three months. This will allow you to be seen while away from home but 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 only if you are permanently living with a patient currently registered with our 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.
