To register at the practice, you must:
- Complete a registration form and a new patient health questionnaire
- Attend a new patient appointment with the practice nurse
- This first appointment with you is important and is required for acceptance onto the practice list
Download a registration form as below, or ask at reception. The form must be signed and therefore cannot be submitted on line. We will ask you for proof of identity.
Once you have been accepted as a patient, your medical records will be transferred to the practice and you will be sent a new medical card. Your medical records may take several weeks to arrive at the practice.
The practice has a non-discrimination policy for accepting new patients. There are a number of reasons why you may not be able to register with your chosen GP. For example, you may live too far away. If this is the case, simply choose another GP in your local area.
If English is not your first language, the practice has access to interpreters. Please inform reception staff and this assistance can be provided.
