Weekends	Closed.	Use NHS 24 on 111 for urgent non-emergency care; call 999 for emergencies.
Public holidays	Closed on listed Scottish/local public holidays.	Order medicine early and check closure dates before travelling.
Extended hours	Wednesday morning from 7:30am.	Limited availability; book by calling reception. Intended for patients unable to attend normal hours.

Online services: repeat prescriptions and proxy access

The practice says online services can be used without phoning or visiting, with repeat prescription ordering listed as the available service. Registration for online services requires identity evidence and may take seven working days or more after verification.

Official online services page Patient Access

Online task	Official detail	Patient tip
Register for online services	Recommended method is online form with ID evidence upload.	Use a patient-specific email, not a shared account.
Processing time	Documentation issued within seven working days or more after verification.	Do not wait until medicine is nearly finished.

Non-attendance history	Patients with non-attendance at booked appointments without cancelling may not normally get online appointment booking access.	Always cancel if you cannot attend.

Sick notes and fit notes: 7-day rule and 48-hour collection note

The official sick/fit note page says sick notes can only be issued when due and cannot be future dated. It also says fit notes will no longer be posted and can be collected from the surgery 48 hours after request.

Official sick/fit note page GOV.UK SC2 self-certification

Situation	Rule	Action
First 7 days of illness	Use self-certification; many employers have their own form.	You do not normally need a GP fit note for the first 7 calendar days.
More than 7 days	A doctor’s certificate may be needed.	Call surgery to arrange GP appointment if this is the first fit note for this illness.
Existing note extension	Doctor may not need to see you if already issued for same illness.	Complete the official request form with dates and extension need.
Hospital admission	Hospital can issue note for admission/recovery period.	Ask ward/hospital team first; GP may use discharge letter after discharge.

Register with Anniesland Medical Practice

The registration page says acceptance is at the doctor’s discretion and the practice asks for proof of identity. It gives a strong warning for patients on repeat medication: ask your previous practice for medication evidence before sending registration forms.

Official new patient registration page NHS inform GP registration Entitlement to NHS treatment

Check whether you are in the right local area.
Confirm registration process with the practice before relying on a directory page.

Prepare identity and address evidence if available.
The practice asks for proof of identity. Its entitlement page says no documents are required to register with a GP in Scotland, but two forms of ID are requested to facilitate registration.

If on repeat medication, get evidence first.
Ask previous practice for medication list and the right side of your prescription. The practice says it will not prescribe without evidence of medication.

Do not register when already nearly out of medicine.
Medical records may take several weeks to arrive at the practice.

Upload or provide complete forms.
Incomplete medication details or missing evidence can delay safe prescribing.

Most important registration tip: before sending forms, photograph your repeat prescription slip, medication boxes and previous medication list. This prevents delays while records transfer.
