New Patient Registration

The Practice welcomes new patients who reside within the area we serve.

When registering you will be asked to complete a short questionnaire about your health and then you will be asked to attend for a consultation with a doctor or the Health Care Assistant.  

The two forms are available to download:

• Application form 
• Health questionnaire

Preference of Practitioner

Patients are registered with the practice, not an individual GP.  You can at any time express a preference for a particular doctor, for either all of your medical needs or on a case-by-case basis. This preference will be recorded in your medical notes and we will do our best to respect your choice. However, not all the doctors in the practice provide all services and specific doctors may not be immediately available.

Access for Our Disabled Patients

Our health centre has suitable access for disabled patients, and all the patient areas including waiting room, consulting rooms and toilets have wheelchair access.

A hearing loop is in place at the front reception desk.

A wheelchair is available at reception.

Designated disabled parking spaces are located nearest to the entrance to the Health Centre.

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.

A Patient Guide to GP Services

These fact sheets have been written to explain the role of UK health services, the National Health Service (NHS), to newly-arrived individuals seeking asylum. 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. Open the leaflets in one of the following languages

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. You cannot register as a temporary patient at a practice in the town or area where you are already registered.
