If you would like to register as a patient with the practice, please complete the necessary forms. Once we have your completed forms & ID it can take up to 72 hours to get your details on the system.

The Merse Medical Practice is based within the Knoll Health Centre in Duns. If you live within our practice area you are welcome to register with us and our reception staff will be happy to guide you through the procedure. Eligibility can be quickly confirmed from your address so please provide proof by way of a recent utility bill.

 

Our Practice area includes Duns, Chirnside & Berwickshire area. Please ask Reception for more information. If you move out-with the practice area you will be asked to register with a different GP surgery.You will need to complete a GP registration form and a new patient questionnaire which will provide useful information whilst we wait for your medical records to arrive from your previous doctor.

 

All new patients are offered a health check with a member of the healthcare team to ensure that any required tests are up to date and that we have an accurate note of any repeat medication you may be taking. (These are done by telephone)
