If unable to provide photographic evidence then you must present one of the above and one of the following:

The above list is not exhaustive and staff are entitled to ask for further proof if required.

Depending on the state of your health, including the presence of certain health conditions, you may be offered the opportunity to have a new patient health check. This allows us to gather any relevant information we may require before your medical record is received from your former GP.

If you prefer a particular type of doctor, such as female for female patients and vice versa, we will do our best to accommodate this. You should note however that not all doctors in the practice provide all services and specific doctors may not be immediately available.

Our practice area covers all parts of Renfrew and Inchinnan.

If you change your address or telephone number please inform the practice. If you move out with the areas covered by the practice you will have to register with a doctor in the area in which you are living.
