New Patient Registration

Currently due to the COVID pandemic in order to reduce footfall into the practice you can complete a new patient registration form and health questionnaire online and email it to the surgery email address - nhsh.gp55291-admin@nhs.scot

The registration form and further information about registering can be found here: NHS Inform - Registering with a GP Practice

Please also fill out the following health questionnaire: New patient Health Questionnaire

Please see our practice leaflet in the further information section for lots of helpful information about our surgery.

When you register with this practice you will be asked to fill out a registration form. This will enable your medical records to be sent from your previous practice. You will be given a new patient questionnaire and an appointment with the doctor, to check medical details.

Practice Area

The surgery is situated in Cherry Grove, the only turning off Dornoch Road, Bonar Bridge. After turning in to Cherry Grove, take the first road on the left as you come up the hill - the surgery is the first building on the left.

Our practice area extends around Bonar Bridge, including Ardgay out to Croick/Alladale, out to Oykel Bridge to the west, and along to Edderton and to Clashmore to the east. Please enquire at reception if you need further information.

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.
