New Patients
Register as New Patient
You will need to complete a practice new patient questionnaire, as well as our registration forms. These are available at reception.
Once you have been accepted as a patient, your medical records will be transferred to the practice. Your medical records may take several weeks to arrive at the practice.
We advise all our new patients to make a routine health check with our Health Care Assistant within the first three months of joining our practice.
The practice has a non-discrimination policy for accepting new patients. 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.
If English is not your first language, the practice has access to interpreters. Please inform the practice staff and this assistance can be provided.

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.
Non-English Speakers
These fact sheets have been written to explain the role of UK health services, the National Health Service (NHS), to newly-arrived individuals seeking asylum. They cover issues such as the role of GPs, their function as gatekeepers to the health services, how to register and how to access emergency services.
Special care has been taken to ensure that information is given in clear language, and the content and style has been tested with user groups.

Disabled Patient Facilities

Disabled Patients
We recognise that patients with disabilities may have particular and specific needs when it comes to accessing healthcare. All our consulting rooms are wheelchair accessible and we have step free access to the building. We are mindful that telephone triage and the wearing of masks can pose special difficulties for those with a hearing impairment and we would encourage you to use e-consult in the first instance and a GP will be able to make appropriate adjustments which might include using a text service for part or all of the assessment. We endeavor to ensure that we are not simply complying with the equality act but making efforts to ensure we provide high quality and responsive care to all our patients. Please do get in touch if you have specific needs which you feel are not being met.
