Currently, we are not registering patients that already have a GP in Levenmouth, unless they have moved out of their registered Practice’s Practice area. The Health Board have agreed at its Primary Medical Services Committee on 5th December that this will be the case until at least June 2024
We welcome new patients who are moving into the area marked on the map on this page. 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. The GPs in Levenmouth are in an NHS “Cluster”, we do not routinely accept registrations from patients registered in one of the cluster Practices, because you already have access to health care. Speak with the Practice Manager at your Practice if you are experiencing problems and wish to change GP Practices.
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.
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.
If you move outside the Practice area you should find a new GP within 7 days. Visit http://www.nhsinform.scot for information and forms. We remove patients that don’t live in the Practice area.
This Practice operates a zero tolerance policy towards violence or abuse to staff. We may involve the Police if necessary. Patients may be removed from our Practice list for violent and abusive behaviour towards our staff, other patients and visitors

Social Media – whilst we appreciate everyone has the right to express their opinion and freedom of speech we ask that you do not use social medical to express dissatisfaction and to “Troll” individual staff or the Practice. Please use the Practice complaints procedure. Any negative or abusive posts on social media will be investigated. This may result in removal from our list
