New Patient Registration

If you live within our practice area you are welcome to register with us and our reception staff will be happy to guide you through the procedure.

You will need to complete a registration form (GMS1) and a health questionnaire which will provide useful information whilst we wait for your medical records to arrive from your previous doctor.  These can either be brought into the surgery or emailed to the practice email address: p82037.ooh@nhs.net .  Please ensure that you provide a contact telephone number and the forms are completed in full.

GMS1 - Registration form

Adult Questionnaire (18 years and over)

Child Questionnaire (Under 18's)

If you are within our practice area you will be offered a health check with a member of the healthcare team to ensure that any required tests are up to date and that we have an accurate note of any repeat medication you may be taking.

In line with the new GMS contract, all patients now have an allocated GP.  This may not be the GP that you usually see and will not affect your right to see whichever GP you choose.  In most cases, your allocated GP will be the GP who you are registered with.  If you are not sure and would like to know, then please ask at reception.

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.

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.
