Medical treatment is available from the date of registration, however for some high risk medications we will require confirmation from your previous GP surgery as to why these have been prescribed. Our clinicians will need this to ensure they are complying with prescribing guidelines. Please do not be offended if we ask for this information. 

After Registration

Once you are registered we will obtain your computerised medical records from your previous GP Surgery. These will be sent to us electronically however some surgeries will take longer than others to complete the process. It may help if you bring along at the time of registering a summary of your health records from your previous GP. 

Every UK citizen has a Lloyd George paper medical record. This is used in conjunction with your computerised medical record. At the time of registration we will request your Lloyd George folder from your previous GP. Please note that it does take up to a number of months for the Health Authority to collect and provide us with your medical file from your previous surgery. 

You will be offered, at the time of registration, a new patient health check. This is an important appointment as it allows us to become aware of your healthcare needs and any medication that we regularly need to prescribe for you. Please come along to this appointment and allow us to help you. When you do attend for your check up please bring any medications, repeat lists or health information you may have with you.

Online 'Pre-Registration' With The Practice

If you wish to pre-register click on the link below to open the form (please ensure you check our catchment area tool within the registration tab before completing this form). When you have completed all of the details, click on the "Send" button to mail your form to us. When you visit the surgery for the first time you will be asked to sign the form to confirm that the details are correct.

Pre-registration Form

When you register you will also be asked to fill out a medical questionnaire. This is because it can take a considerable time for us to receive your medical records. There is an online version of this file too, which you may fill out and send to us. When you come to the surgery you will be asked to sign this form to confirm that the details are correct.

Online Medical Questionnaire For New Patients

Note that by sending the form you will be transmitting information about your self across the Internet and although every effort is made to keep this information secure, no guarantee can be offered in this respect.

Alternatively you may print off a registration form, fill it out and bring it in with you on your first visit to the practice.

You may also be asked to complete additional forms when you attend the surgery in person. This is sometimes necessary based on information that we need to collect from time to time.

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.
