To register as a patient at Glasgow West Medical Practice please call in to one of our branches at either 4 Laurel Street G11 7QR or 1264 Dumbarton Road G14 9PS, or you can fill in our online form (see below for details). 

Once registered, patients may be asked to attend appointments or access services at either branch.  Unfortunately, our Laurel Street branch does not have disabled access so please make sure to book your appointment at our Dumbarton Road branch if you struggle with access.

To register permanently, you’ll need to complete a registration form. You can either:

• Download a registration form, complete it, and then email it to the GP practice at ggc.gp40629.nhs.scot
• Our administration team will contact you for any further information we may need to complete your registration

When you register with us, it’s recommended that you provide information to confirm your:

• identity
• address

This means you can easily be matched to your existing NHS records (if you have any). You shouldn’t be delayed or refused registration at a GP practice if you can’t provide identification or proof of address.

Anybody in Scotland can access primary care services at a GP practice without charge.

You can only register with a GP practice if you’re staying in the area for more than 3 months. If you’re not, you may still be treated but as a Temporary Resident.

You can also use the Access to Healthcare. This is a GP registration card to help you register with a GP Practice. The card gives information on your rights to accessing healthcare. You can find the card on the Health Literacy Place website.

For more information on being treated as a Temporary Resident please contact your nearest GP practice.

From 1st April 2015, practices are required to allocate all patients (including children) with a named accountable GP.

The named GP is responsible for the coordination and delivery of all appropriate services, where required based on clinical judgement, to each of their patients.

• Patients do not need to see their named GP when they book an appointment with the practice.
• Patients are entitled to choose to see any GP or nurse in the practice.
