If you wish to be a patient of Springwell Medical Centre, you must live within our Practice Boundary (see map). We only accept patients who are new to the area and not registered with a GP. However, if you have moved address and are no longer in your current practice boundary, we can register you here.
Online Registration opens at 10.00am every Monday and is capped to the first 5 applications per week. Please do not attend the practice in person to register. Admin staff will process your completed application within 14 days. Queries by telephone or in person will not be dealt with unless this is in relation to registering immediate family members.
There are multiple GP Practices in the area covering similar boundaries with varying registration procedures. For more information on which GP practices cover your home address please visit here.
All new patients will be contacted by text (if signed up to this service) or telephone call to confirm registration once all checks have been completed. Your medical records may take several weeks to arrive at the Practice so please ensure you give us an accurate medical history when completing the application form.
If you are on regular medication prescribed from your previous GP you must make an appointment with the GP here before you require your next prescription.
The practice does not discriminate on the ground of: sex, race, colour, nationality, ethnic origin, marital status, age, gender, social class, religion, sexual orientation, appearance, disability or medical condition.
Please click here to take you the registration page. We can only register you if you are currently residing within the allocated area. Please do not try to register before you have moved in to the catchment, as we will not be able to accept this.
Temporary Residents
If you are staying in our area for less than three months and are acutely unwell we may be able to see you as a Temporary Patient if you are residing in another part of the UK. Please see our Temporary registration form below. We only register people temporarily IF you need to be seen. If you have a GP surgery in Edinburgh but are staying temporarily in our area then we would expect you to attend the surgery you are registered with. Similarly if you have ran out of repeat medication then you should also contact your own surgery regardless of where it is in the UK. GP surgeries can pass information to our local pharmacy so you can receive the medication you need.
If you are seen as a Temporary Patient and not resident in the UK and are referred to the hospital by the GP, the hospital may charge you for the treatment or procedure carried out.
