New Patients
Register as New Patient
We have an open list and welcome requests for registration from patients living in the practice area. The map available on this link gives a guide to our practice boundary.
To register with us, you will need to complete a registration form and a new patient questionnaire. These are available at reception or alternatively you can download the printable forms below:
Registration Form Medical Questionnaire
Please bring the completed forms, a form of photo identification and proof of address to reception.
We recommend new patients undertake a new patient health check with a practice healthcare assistant.
If you are on any repeat medication please provide us with full details and make an appointment to be seen by one of the GPs in order that we can add these to your medical record. We do not routinely issue repeat prescriptions for Benzodiazpines (Lorazepam, Diazepam etc). If you take this medication the GP will encourage you to reduce and eventually stop taking this.
Non-English Speakers - The practice has access to an interpreter via Language Line. Please be certain to tell the receptionist that access to this service will be required when you book your appointment
Temporary Patient Registrations
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.
Access and Disabled Patients
Patient services are located on the ground floor of the practice and the premises are wheelchair accessible. Where patients have particular difficulty practice staff may be able to assist.
A visual display system is used to call patients from thge waiting room in to the consulting rooms. Patients with visual impairment should speak to the receptionist who will be able to assist.
