The information you have provided will be used by NHS Scotland to carry out its various functions and services including scheduling appointments, ordering tests, hospital referrals and sending correspondence.
Your information, including your name, gender, date of birth and address, will be passed to NHS National Services Scotland where it will be held on the Community Health Index (CHI). This information is used to register you with the GP Practice, transfer your medical records between GP practices in the UK, make payments to GP Practices for medical services provided, and to process and issue medical exemption certificates and entitlement cards.
NHS National Services Scotland shares information about you within NHSScotland to assist in the provision and improvement of NHS services and the health of the public. When we do this, we do it as described by NHS Scotland in the NHS Inform website under the “How the NHS handles your personal health information” section.
NHS Scotland is made up of various organisations such as NHS Health Boards, GP practices, the Scottish Ambulance Service or NHS National Services Scotland (the common name of the Common Services Agency for the Scottish Health Service). These organisations are individually responsible for your personal health information. In terms of data protection and privacy laws, they are known as ‘data controllers’.

Anybody in the UK can register with a GP practice and receive free medical care from that practice.
However, if you are not ‘ordinarily resident’ in the UK you may have to pay for NHS treatment outside of the GP practice. Being ordinarily resident broadly means living lawfully in the UK on a properly settled basis for the time being. In most cases, nationals of countries outside the European Economic Area must also have the status of ‘indefinite leave to remain’ in the UK.
More information on healthcare for overseas visitors please refer to:
You may be asked to provide proof of entitlement in order to receive free NHS treatment outside of the GP practice, otherwise you may be charged for your treatment. Even if you have to pay for a service, you will always be provided with any immediately necessary or urgent treatment, regardless of advance payment.
The information you give on this form will be used to assist in identifying your chargeable status, and may be shared, including with NHS secondary care organisations (e.g. hospitals) and NHS Digital, for the purposes of validation, invoicing and cost recovery. You may be contacted on behalf of the NHS to confirm any details you have provided.
The information you have provided will be used by Boroughloch Medical Practice to carry out its various functions and services including scheduling appointments, ordering tests, hospital referrals and sending correspondence.
