How to register
To register, complete a registration form obtained from our reception staff. You will need to provide proof of identification such as a driving licence or passport is suffice. Our reception staff will register you and organise a full health check. In the case of a new baby, bring their birth registration form that has their NHS Number on it.
All new patients are asked to have a medical examination when registering with the Practice and this is done by our Practice Nurse on either a Tuesday or Thursday afternoon. Your medical record often takes a considerable time to arrive from your previous doctor and this gives us the opportunity of recording some basic information about you and offering you any immediate care you may need.
You will also need to bring a urine sample to this initial appointment. Please obtain a specimen bottle from our reception staff.
You will be registered with the Practice rather than a specific doctor, but you have a right to ask to see a particular doctor. This will be accommodated where possible, but it may mean waiting longer for an appointment.
Please note that consent to contact via mobile phone will be assumed if no other option is marked on the registration form or when the mobile phone number is provided to the Practice. Please ensure we have an up to date mobile telephone number or home telephone number for you.
Acceptance on to the list is as at the discretion of the Doctor. We ask you for proof of identity. (Please refer to our registration policy below and why we ask for this).
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.
