NEW PATIENTS

The practice is able to take new patients providing they live in the Practice area.

To register, complete the appropriate section of your medical card or, complete a registration form obtained from our Reception Staff. Don’t worry if you have no card, our Reception Staff will still register you and organise a full health check.

In the case of a new baby, bring their NHS Number (obtainable from Child Health or the Maternity Ward) or the child’s red book.

Please fill in our new patient health questionnaire (available from our Reception Staff), and provide suitable personal identification. Two forms of identification are required; one to prove who you are - this would normally be some form of photo identification, (such as a passport or driving licence); the other, to prove where you live, (this could be a utility bill or a bank statement).

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, if you wish.

If you have a requirement for a prescription then you should arrange an appointment with a doctor of your choice to discuss your on-going care and bring all your current medication with you,

We do not exclude patients from the Practice on grounds of age, sex, colour, race, nationality, ethnic or national origin or disability, sexual orientation, religion or religious or philosophical belief or medical condition.
