I know, that might be not the place to start such discussions but with us "just" moved to Scotland we will need to register at a GP at one time. help

So I hope you can give me some advice and suggest a GP who not just prescribe paracetamol for any disease. Rolling Eyes

Thank you for you help.

Hi Marco I have been with Dr Andersons practice in Kenilworth for 30+ years never had any issues been there since young child so nothing else to base it on, sorry cant be of any further help..

We are with the Dr Norris and partners at Craigmarloch - almost all good doctors. You can also get appointments easily which seems to be unusual these days!

They are also at the Central Health Centre at North Carbrain which is closer to you.

I would recommend Kennilworth or central health centre, both good kennolworth waiting times and appointment sytems can mean waiting longer to see a doctor but the docs are really good there. central health centre not as long for appointments but you can never guarantee seeing the same doctor twice.
both very local to you Very Happy

I had Dr. Smith at Kennilworth and he was good. He looked like Elmer Fud and he even had the lisp. Whenever he wasn't in I seemed to get Dr. Socklingham who is a fantastic doctor and he is a fantastic doctor for kids, if you have any, because he is very patient and understanding.

I am currently at McNeill and Barry in Muirhead and I can say DO NOT go there. Dr McNeill is a pompous academic who's next diagnosis is sure to be why my foot is stuck up his @ss.

Marco, I and my family have been at the Kenilworth practice for over 40 years and I wouldn't move anywhere else . They have been so good over the years but as with most big practices in Cumbernauld they have had to close their lists to new patients due to the large number on their books.

The Craigmarloch practice ( Dr Norris) is my friends brother in law and they get a good name too. They also hold surgeries at the central health centre. Again I think they may have closed their list too. But why don't you go in to the practices and ask? These are the two largest practices in Cumbernauld and I think have the best reputation. Although it always comes down to personal choice so people may disagree with me. Good luck.

We have been with the Craigmarloch practice since we moved here 12 years ago. I have no complaints. Very Happy

Hi there - Steven and I are at Kennilworth...

One thing I will say though - we moved to Cumbernauld 2 years ago and we couldn't get any of the surgeries to put us on their patient list...! In the end we had to write directly to the Health Board in Glasgow and they placed us on the Kennilworth list - but we didn't have a choice and we took what we got.

Good luck with it!

At the moment it looks the same for us. Marco already wrote the letter to Glasgow. Will see. It is so strange for us, not even to have a choice, which GP we like to use Confused

Hopefully they will place us to a good one Sad

Hey Phoebe and Marco,

I know - it was a bit of a shock to us that we couldn't just go to a surgery and get on the patient list! Makes me wonder why we bother paying taxes sometimes!

Don't worry - you should hear back pretty soon... i think they got back to us within just over a week,

MY OTHER HALF JUST TURNED UP AT MY GP'S AND ASKED FOR AN APPOINTMENT TO REGISTER AND AFTER AN EXAMINATION HAD HIS NOTES TRANSFERRED AND TOOK HIM ON NO PROBLEM! THAT WAS 8 YEARS AGO!

Its the same for Jenna and I. I have to travel back and forth to Glasgow to see a doctor as the GP's in Cumbernauld are totally full.
