New Patient Registration

01.01.2023 - PLEASE NOTE WE ARE NOT REGISTERING PATIENTS CURRENTLY REGISTERED AT SALTOUN SURGERY OR FINLAYSON STREET PRACTICE IN FRASERBURGH

If you have recently moved into this area and live within our practice area you are welcome to register with us, and our reception staff will be happy to guide you through the procedure. Eligibility can be quickly confirmed from your address so please provide proof by way of a recent utility bill as well as one form of photographic ID

You will need to complete a registration form and a health questionnaire which will provide useful information whilst we wait for your medical records to arrive from your previous doctor. The forms can also be downloaded from the above "Registering Online" tab.

All new patients aged five years and over will have to attend the surgery for a new patient screen with one of the nurses.  This is a prerequisite for all new patients so that we can obtain medical information about you.

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

'Registration' With The Practice

If you wish to register at Crimond Medical Centre please click on the link below for the Patient Registration Form.  This has to be filled out in full.  Please fill it in, print it out and then either email it to us or hand it into reception:

NEW PATIENT REG FORM 2022

When you register you will also have to fill out a medical questionnaire. This is because it can take a considerable time for us to receive your medical records and we need the most up-to-date clinical information on your medical history.  Again you must fill in this form in full.  Failure to do so could result in delays in receiving any repeat medication you are on.

** PLEASE NOTE THAT WE ARE NOT CURRENTLY TAKING ON ANY PATIENTS WHO ARE ALREADY REGISTERED AT A LOCAL MEDICAL CENTRE UNLESS YOU ARE MOVING INTO OUR CATCHMENT AREA **

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.
