New Patient Registration

The doctors welcome new patients who live within our practice area.  As it often takes sometime for records to be forwarded from your former practice all newly registered patients will be asked to complete a health questionnaire and are offered a consultation with the doctor. 

Medical treatment is available from the date of registration.  Please contact reception for further information.

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.

Pre-registration Form

We will then contact you to arrange for you to come in to the surgery, sign the form to confirm the details are correct and provide one of the following documents to confirm your identity along with proof of address, such as recent utility bill or bank statement.

Adults

• Medical Card
• Passport
• Birth Certificate
• Full Driving Licence

Children

If you have a medical card for your child(ren) then we can register them without further proof of identity.  If not then we will use your identification details to register them.

Please bring your child(ren)'s Red Book when you attend the Surgery.

When you register you will also be asked to fill out a medical questionnaire. This is because it can take a considerable time for us to receive your medical records. 

Note that by sending the form you will be transmitting information about your self across the Internet and although every effort is made to keep this information secure, no guarantee can be offered in this respect.

Alternatively you may print off a registration form from the link below, fill it out and bring it in with you to the surgery or we can provide you with a paper form when you visit the surgery.

Temporary Registration

If you are ill while away from home or if you are not registered with a doctor but need to see one you can receive emergency treatment from the local GP practice for 14 days. After 14 days you will need to register as a temporary or permanent patient.

You can be registered as a temporary patient for up to three months. This will allow you to be on the local practice 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.
