To register permanently, you’ll need to complete a registration form. You can either:

• Fill out an online registration form
• Collect a registration form from reception and return it to the Practice
• Download a registration form, complete it, and then email it to the GP practice

You can also use Access to Healthcare. This is a GP registration card to help you register with a GP Practice. The card gives information on your rights to accessing healthcare. You can find the card on the Health Literacy Place website. Anybody in Scotland can access primary care services at a GP practice without charge. 

Due to the volume of new patient registrations we receive, we do kindly ask that patient's allow 7 days before making an appointment or requesting routine medication. This provides time for our team to review and complete your registration. However, if you require urgent medical attention during this time, please do contact the Practice team by telephone and they will be happy to advise you. 

You can only register permanently with a GP practice if you’re staying in the area for more than 3 months. If you’re not, you may still be treated but as a Temporary Resident.

Callander is a popular destination for tourists and we receive a large volume of requests to treat temporary patients. While we do endeavour to facilitate urgent requests, there may be times where we are unable to help due to demand on our services. 

If you are visiting the area and require medical care, please help us manage demand on our team by using the most appropriate service for your needs:

• In the event of a life-threatening emergency, please call 999 immediately. 
  
  
• If you require an emergency supply of your prescribed medicines or advice on symptoms covered under the Pharmacy First Service, please visit a local community pharmacy. 
  
  
• If you have injured yourself, and this is not immediately life threatening, the Minor Injuries Unit is likely best placed to treat you. Based in Stirling Health and Care Village, the unit provides advice and treatment for a wide range of injuries. It can treat adults and children over the age of 1, from across the Forth Valley area and is open 9am - 9pm, 7 days a week (including public holidays).  To access this service as quickly as possible, please call NHS 24 on 111 first before you attend.
