Our Boundary

Register as a New Patient

We welcome all new patients at Denny Cross. Please see our practice boundary – we will be able to look after anyone within this area.

Attached are the registration forms; please complete both. Please download and print and fill out. You are also able to get a hard copy from the reception desk. Once completed, please speak to the receptionist and bring the required photographic ID. If you are transferring from another practice in Scotland, we can usually get your records quickly but if you are coming from elsewhere in the UK, this may take longer. If you are coming from abroad, we will not automatically get copies of your records. It can be helpful for you to hand in any records you may have however if they are in another language, you will need to pay to get these translated (we can arrange for this to be done via the NHS translation service).

Registration Forms

Please complete all relevant forms.

New Patient Medicals

We encourage you to have a new patient medical with the practice nurse when you join Denny Cross. She will be able to review all of your records as well as making sure we look after all of your chronic illnesses correctly. She will arrange any appropriate follow up of tests or medications. This is particularly important if you have some chronic medical conditions, however is it not compulsory.

Moving out of the practice area

We welcome all patients of Denny Cross to remain patients of ours. We are only able to register new patients within our practice boundary, as this has been agreed by NHS Forth Valley. However if you move out of our practice area, you are welcome to remain patients under our care. The only thing to note is that if you are not within our practice area (see map of practice boundary), we will not be able to provide any home visits by doctors or nurses (but you are still welcome to attend the practice yourself at any time).

Temporary Patient Restrictions

If you are only visiting or staying in Denny for a short period, you are able to register as a temporary resident if you need urgent medical care. Please speak to a member of the admin team. You will be required to fill out some paperwork before we are able to see you (this is so we can make an entry in your medical records of the consultation and also provide a prescription if required). If you are registered at another practice within Forth Valley, we encourage you to speak to your own practice rather than registering temporarily with us. You can be registered as a temporary resident for up to three months and then after that, you would become a permanent resident of Denny Cross.

Non-English Speakers

Here are some leaflets in various languages explaining the role of the GP surgery. They have been produced by the NHS. They have been tested with user groups and use clear language.
