New Patient Information

Welcome

You can begin the registration process online by completing the initial questionnaire and submitting it to us.   Please visit the surgery during normal working hours (08:00 – 18:00) and if you haven’t already started the registration process, tell the Clinical Administrator that you would like to register.  If you have your medical card, please bring it with you.  If you are registering your baby, please bring the form from the Registrar.   You have the right to state a preference to receive care from a particular doctor or nurse. The Clinical Administrator will help to complete the registration form and make a screening appointment for you.

Contractual Obligation

All patients are advised that Aberlour Medical Practice is not an NHS organisation; rather, and like almost all medical practices in Grampian, it is an independent contractor with a contract to NHS Grampian.

Removals from the list of patients absent from the United Kingdom etc

The Health Board must remove a patient from the Contractor’s list of patients where it receives notification that that patient:

• intends to be away from the United Kingdom for a period of at least three months;
• is in Her Majesty’s Forces;
• has been absent from the United Kingdom for a period of more than three months; or
• has died.

Leaving the list

You can leave the practice list at any time. This may be because you are moving away but you may wish to move to one of the other local practices. You do not have to tell us you are leaving but it would be nice of you to let us know. In very rare circumstances you may be removed from the list.  This will only occur when we feel that the trust that must be present between you and the doctors no longer exists.
