If you want to get a new or another bank account, there are some things you need to find out:

The main types of bank account and what they are used for.

The terms and conditions for each type of bank account (and if there are any perks!).

How to change banks or building societies.

In order to open a bank account you usually have to fill in an application form, which you can do in the branch or online, and in some cases, even over the phone.

You will have to provide proof of your identity including your full name, date of birth and address. You will usually have to show the bank two separate documents that prove who you are (e.g. passport) and where you live (e.g. a recent utility bill). If you do not have any of the documents that the bank wants, they should accept a letter from a responsible person that knows you, such as a GP, teacher, social worker or probation officer.

It is possible that the bank may refuse to open a current account if you have any of the following:

Poor credit history

History of or current bankruptcy

Record of fraud

However, if you are/have been bankrupt or have a poor credit rating, you may still be able to open a basic bank account and it is worth discussing this openly with the bank.

Registering with a General Practitioner (GP)

# data[].attributes.subject
Registering with a General Practitioner (GP)

# data[].attributes.body
One of the most important tasks to complete when moving to a new area, is registering with a new GP practice.

Please note that in order to register with a GP practice, you need to be residing within the locality that the GP practice covers. Furthermore, you can only register with a GP practice if you will be staying in the same area for more than 3 months. If you are not, you may still be treated, but you will need to register as a Temporary Resident.

For all those who will be registering with a GP practice in the United Kingdom for the first time, remember that medical records from outside the United Kingdom cannot be traced.

The first step is choosing a GP practice, for which the two following criteria must be met:

1. The GP practice must be covering the area that you live in.

2. The GP practice must be open to accepting new patients (as some practices are currently full).

To find your nearest GP practice, use the following link:

Scotland's Service Directory - GP Practices

Once you have found a GP practice you should:

Contact them via phone or in-person to find out how to register with them and how long the process will take (including how you will be notified if your registration is successful!)

Complete and submit the registration form to the practice, following their registration process.

When you register with a GP practice, it’s recommended that you provide information to confirm your identity and address to enable you to be matched with any existing NHS records. However, you should NOT be delayed or refused registration at a GP practice if you cannot provide this information.

Anybody in Scotland can access primary care services at a GP practice without any fee or charge.

# data[].attributes.body
Unlike GP practices which are all part of the NHS, some dental practices operate privately and will not take on NHS patients. Therefore, while this section will focus on the registration process for NHS dentists, it is always worth double checking that whatever dental practice you choose is able to take you on as an NHS patient when you first make contact with them.

Much like finding a GP practice, you can use the following link to find the closest dental services in your area:

Scotland's Service Directory - Dental services

Once you have found a dentist that is able to take you on as a new NHS patient, you will need to provide some information, such as your name, address, date of birth and contact details.

You will then be given an appointment for an enhanced clinical examination. The practice may put you on a waiting list to be registered until you have been seen for the this examination, even if they do provide an emergency appointment.

Before your appointment, you will be asked to complete a full medical history form before your appointment, so please ensure that you bring an up-to-date list of all your medications.

At this stage you should be given all the relevant information you need about your dentist including:

Dental services they provide

The professional that will conduct your dental treatment

Contact information and opening hours
