We accept patients from Bridge of Don, Balmedie, Udny and surrounding areas. Please see the boundary map below to check your address is in our area before registering. Please note that student halls South of the River Don (e.g. Hillhead halls) are outwith our area, so unfortunately we are unable to accept applications from these addresses.

Please download the registration forms and either post, hand in or email back the completed forms. When handing back the forms please provide a copy of photographic ID (e.g. passport) and a copy of a recent letter with your name and address (e.g. utility bill, bank statement or rent agreement, etc).

If you have used the postcode checker above, and you are not in our area, then you will need to register elsewhere.

For each adult or child 5yrs and older that you wish to register please download and complete the 'Adult and Over 5's Registration Form'. 

For each child under 5 please download and complete the 'Under 5's Registration Form'.

Once completed you can return the forms and proof of ID via email to gram.scotstownadministrator@nhs.scot or put the printed forms in the black postbox on the wall outside the practice at Scotstown Medical Group, Cairnfold Road, Bridge of Don.

It will take around 1 week to become registered, if you wish to call to confirm you have been registered please telephone us, and if there are any issues we would telephone yourself.

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.

These fact sheets have been written to explain the role of UK health services, the National Health Service (NHS), to newly-arrived individuals seeking asylum. They cover issues such as the role of GPs, their function as gatekeepers to the health services, how to register and how to access emergency services.

Special care has been taken to ensure that information is given in clear language, and the content and style has been tested with user groups.
