Until you are fully registered with the practice, you will remain registered with your previous GP. Until we receive confirmation of your past medical history and medication we will not be able to issue any repeat prescriptions. You should ask your previous GP for a supply.
Practice Catchment Area
We accept new patients who will be permanently resident in our practice area for more than three months. The Richmond Practice accepts patients from Bo’ness, Blackness, and Philpstoun. Registered patients who move from Bo’ness to Linlithgow will usually be able to retain their registration.
For further information please contact reception.
Acceptance on to the list is as at the discretion of the Doctor and we will ask you for proof of identity. (Please refer to our registration policy below and why we ask for this). Please note that your medical records may take several weeks to arrive at the Practice.
It is is important to note that you can only permanently register with a GP practice if you’re staying in the area for more than 3 months.
