- Full name, (including previous names)
- last GP name and address
- Date and place of birth
- Last address
- New address and post code
Please be kind enough to attend for registration enquiries at reception between 11am and 4pm Mon-Friday.
Medical Record
Your medical record will automatically be recalled from your previous Surgery when you register here. It may take up to 8 weeks for your paper record to arrive so we ask you to also complete a New Patient Health Form.
We ask all new patients to complete a questionnaire about their health to ensure that the Doctors and Nurse here have a brief personal history and an understanding of your health needs before your full record is available. Please give as much information as possible, and please include immunisation details for children. If you are not sure whether you have completed your forms correctly, please advise the Receptionist.
Keeping us up-to-date
Please let us know of any change in your name, address or telephone number. (especially mobile and email).
If you live within our practice area you are welcome to register with us and our reception staff will be happy to guide you through the procedure. Eligibility can be quickly confirmed from your address so please provide proof by way of a recent utility bill.
You will need to complete a registration form (GMS1) and a health questionnaire which will provide useful information whilst we wait for your medical records to arrive from your previous doctor.
All new patients are offered a health check with a member of the healthcare team to ensure that any required tests are up to date and that we have an accurate note of any repeat medication you may be taking.
Medical treatment is available from the date of registration. Please contact reception for further information.
