New Patient Registration

The doctors welcome new patients who live within our practice area. 

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

As it often takes some time for records to be forwarded from your former practice, all newly registered patients will be asked to complete a health questionnaire. This will provide us with background information, and details of your past medical history.

Our contract now requires us to inform all patients of their 'accountable GP'. If you would like to know who your accountable GP is, please give us a call and we can tell you this over the telephone. When making an appointment you can specify which GP you wish to see and we will try and accommodate you if at all possible, however, this may mean your appointment will be outside the 48 hour period.

Policy for overseas visitors

We do charge patients whose main residence is not in the UK. The NHS does have a reciprocal agreement with some countries e.g. those within the European Union.  Where there is a reciprocal arrangement, patients will not be charged for treatment.

Please note that not all practices have the same policy. So if you have anyone visiting from overseas and staying with you, it is worth checking with other surgeries, who may not necessarily charge.

Non-English Speakers

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.

Registering with the practice

If you wish to register with the practice you will need to come into the surgery to collect the paperwork you are required to complete.

In addition, we also need you to provide proof of identification (preferably photo ID) such as a passport or drivers licence.  You will also need to provide proof of your address, such as a recent utility bill.

When returning your new patient forms you will be required to take a seat in the waiting room whilst the Reception Team register your details. As this is a new registration system for the practice, please allow sufficient time for us to accurately complete this process and address any queries which may arise with you.
