We we register patients from anyone living in our Practice area. Please note we do not accept registration from patients living in Kennoway. Please see the map for our Practice area.
If you are in the area for a temporary period or a holiday maker please complete the form or come into Reception and complete a form. Please note if you are registered with a GP in Scotland emergency supplies of medication can be obtained from any Pharmacy without the need for a GP.

New patients can arrange registration by completing and signing a registration form which can be downloaded from https://www.nhsinform.scot/care-support-and-rights/nhs-services/doctors/registering-with-a-gp-practice. This is our preferred method, however you can collect a form from Reception too. Once completed and signed this can be emailed to the practice fife.f21261scoonie@nhs.scot or handed in to Reception. If you have used the online process to register we will either post or email out a new patient questionnaire to complete.
We may ask new patients to attend for an appointment. This will usually only be if you have long term conditions or medication to review.
You will continue to be registered with your previous GP until your new registration has been processed. Please ensure you contact your previous GP to obtain enough medication to last until you have registered. If you are registering from a Practice in England we advise that you request a copy of your medical record before you register with us. There are lengthy delays getting medical notes from over the Border to ask for a copy of your records and we can scan these into our system.
When you are accepted on to the practice list you will not be allocated to a specific doctor. However, you have the right to express a preference to receive services from a particular clinician and to have this recorded in writing at the practice. We will endeavour to comply with such a request but this may not always be possible.
