New Patients

Practice List Opening

We thank you for your patience and support over the last year with the unprecedented closure of our list. We have been working hard to resolve this matter and we are glad to announce that we will open our list for new patient registrations from the 1^st of June 2025. However, in order to do so and remain sustainable for the future, we have had to make some changes.

With the new Builyeon Road development in full swing, the population of South Queensferry is growing rapidly. Unfortunately, there are still no changes to Scottish Government funding and therefore we are not able to develop or extend our practice despite the multiple requests we have made over the years. This means we are unable to facilitate the large growth in population that South Queensferry faces over the coming months and years.

Our practice has historically been the only practice covering South Queensferry. The preference of the Health Board is now to have more than one practice covering our area; therefore, the Almond Group Practice and Barclay Medical Practice have been granted permission to extend their boundaries to include the South Queensferry area.

Taking in to account these points above, we have therefore made the decision to adjust our boundary. Our southern boundary will now run along the Builyeon road, meaning that the new development beyond this will be covered by the two other practices. The Almond Group Practice and Barclay Practice. (Please see our boundary map)

This means we will not be accepting any new registrations from outwith this new boundary.

Information regarding all surgeries in your area can be obtained from www.nhsinform.scot/scotlands-service-directory/gp-practices or by telephoning the NHS Enquiries on 0800 22 4488.

We are confident that this will enable us to look after the healthcare needs of the patients that do fall within our boundary. We are looking forward to welcoming new patients into the practice again.

We will be using an electronic process for new patient registrations as our primary method of registration. Please keep an eye out for further announcements regarding this process as the week progresses.

The practice now operates a new online registration system called MiHealth Portal. If you would like to register with us and are residing in our practice boundary (see map for our geographical boundary) please follow the link below to sign up for the new patient registration service. Once you have set up a user name and password you will be able to complete all the required registration information online.

This new registration process will remove the need for collection, completion and return of paper forms, but we may require photo ID and proof of address to be presented to us.

If you need to register with a practice urgently and there is a reason that you are unable to complete the online process, please phone reception for further advice.

Please note:

You can only register if you have a UK registered telephone number. If you register with a non UK telephone number your application will be rejected.
You will only be allowed to proceed with your application if your postcode falls within our geographical boundary. The system will pop up with a warning or a 'not valid' message.
We will initially limit the number of registrations which can be made per week. This is to facilitate our administrative process only, as we expect initial registration applications to be high. We will review this in the coming weeks. Once the capacity has been reached each week a pop up box will display the message 'The practice are not currently taking new registrations at this stage, apologies for any inconvenience.' Please try again the following week. Our aim is that is everyone living in our boundary is welcome to register with us if they wish to do so, and we have no plans to close the list unless circumstances dictate otherwise in the future.
The registration link will be open from the morning of Monday 2nd June.
We will continue to use paper forms to register new babies, your Health Visitor will help you with this.

Practice Boundary

Our current practice boundary which is now in effect (granted 25th April 2025):

“Conurbations of South Queensferry and Dalmeny. Our northern boundary is the southern
shore of the River Forth running from Abercorn to the west and the River Almond to the
East.Our western boundary runs from the southern shore of the River Forth down minor roads
leading to Abercorn Road to the B8020 ending to the east of Duntarvie.Our southern boundary runs west to east from the B8020 to Totleywells and then follows
the minor roads heading north past Westfield to join the A904 at the Queensferry junction.
It then runs along the A904 to the roundabout at the A9000, along the A9000 which
becomes the A90 and follows the road to Cramond Brig.
The eastern border follows from the mouth of the River Almond to the A90 at Cramond
Brig, encompassing only the areas as described above.”

Our existing patients residing outwith our practice boundary remain on our list, however they may only remain on our list for as long as they reside at their original address. Any movement outwith our boundary will trigger a registration at a practice within their geographical location.
