New Patients
Register as a New Patient
To register with us, please complete both forms below (registration and medical history forms) and provide identification, such as a passport or driving licence, and proof of address.
Our Area
Our practice covers patients living in the local Fort William area, and our boundaries are to Glenfinnan in the West, The Ballachulish bridge in the South, Fersit in the East and Letterfinlay in the North.
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 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 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.
Non-English Speakers
We are able to provide telephone translation services for consultations. Please tell the receptionist when booking an appointment that you / the person you are booking the appointment for will require a translator.
The fact sheets below explain the role of UK health services, the National Health Service (NHS), to non-English speakers. They cover information including the role of GPs, their function as gatekeepers to the health services, how to register and how to access emergency services.
Accessible Patient Facilities
Our practice is wheelchair accessible with wide doors and no steps between the carpark and our consulting rooms / toilets.
