HOW TO REGISTER AS A PATIENT
A Patient may request to be considered for application to join the practice list by completing the practice request form. Having fulfilled the criteria to apply to join the list you will be given a new patient questionnaire to complete. You should return the completed questionnaire along with your previous NHS medical card.
If you have lost your medical card you will need to fill in a GMS1 form which is available from reception. You will be registered as a patient of the GP partnership. However you will be able to see any of the doctors of your choice dependant upon whether there is an available appointment for that doctor. We cannot guarantee you can always see a female Doctor.
Please check you are within our catchment area before applying to join the list here is our map: Click here
WE HAVE AN APPOINTMENT REMINDER, TEXTING SERVICE, PLEASE BE SURE TO CHECK WITH RECEPTION THAT WE HAVE AN UPDATED MOBILE NUMBER.
Named GP
From 1st April 2015, all of our patients have been allocated a named GP. Your named GP will have overall responsibility for the care and support that our surgery provides to you. This does not prevent you from seeing any GP in the practice, as you may currently choose to do. Neither does it guarantee you will see your named GP every time you visit the surgery or give you priority access over other patients to your named GP. It is important to note that access to GPs will be via our normal appointment system and will continue to be subject to the availability of individual doctors. We aim to offer “GP of choice” appointments where possible. Please ask a member of our reception team for more information.
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 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 if there is an available appointment. You cannot register as a temporary patient at a practice in the town or area where you are already registered.
