New Patient Registration

Patients that live within our practice boundary can register with the practice at any of the three surgeries.  Registration forms are available from any of our surgeries and can also be downloaded below for you to print out.  Each person will also need to complete a 'New Patient Questionnaire' to provide us with more details about your health.  These are also available to download below.

New Patient Questionnaire

 New Patient Questionnaire under 16

Please bring your completed registration form and new patient questionnaire to reception at any of our surgeries.  Each new patient will need to attend the surgery in person and provide photographic proof of identification (e.g. driving licence or passport).  It would also be helpful if you could bring along your previous medical card. Please keep your medical cards in a safe place. If your card is lost, please ask a member of staff for a form so that it can be replaced.

All new patients are requested to come along for new patient health check, usually with the practice nurse.

Medical treatment is available immediately while the registration process takes place.  Please contact reception for further information.

Guide to GP Services

The Royal College of General Practitioners has produced a useful guide for patients about the services on offer at GP Surgeries and how to access them.  You can download the guide below.

They cover issues such as the role of GPs, their function as gatekeepers to the health services, how to register and how to access emergency services.

Special care has been taken to ensure that information is given in clear language, and the content and style has been tested with user groups.

Temporary Registration

If you are ill while away from home, you can be seen at a local GP practice as a temporary resident.

You can be registered as a temporary patient for up to three months. This will allow you to be on the local practice list and still remain a patient of your permanent GP. After three months you will have to re-register as a temporary patient or permanently register with that practice.

To register as a temporary patient simply contact the local practice you wish to use. Practices do not have to accept you as a temporary patient although they do have an obligation to offer emergency treatment. You cannot register as a temporary patient at a practice in the town or area where you are already registered.
