In order to register with the practice you should bring your NHS medical card and some form of photographic identification. You will be asked to complete a registration form and will be offered a registration medical appointment with the practice nurse if you wish one. If you prefer a particular type of doctor e.g. female for a female patient and vice versa we will note this and 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.
When you attend the Practice to register you will be asked to complete a GP registration form, and new patient questionnaire form, these must be completed before you see the Doctor, so it is advisable to attend at least 20 minutes before your appointment time, so that you can complete the information required.
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.
Once you’ve been accepted as a patient, your medical records will be transferred to the Practice and you’ll be sent a new medical card.
Your medical records may take several weeks to arrive at the Practice.
