Change of Details

If you move house or change your home or mobile telephone number please inform the Practice as soon as possible.
This is extremely important as there have been times when the Practice has been unable to contact a patient in an emergency situation due to out of date contact details.

Registering with the Practice

New patients are welcomed by the Practice. When registering you will be asked to complete a registration form, health questionnaire and provide a form of ID (Birth certificate/Passport/Driving licence etc).  The Doctors will review the health questionnaire.  At this point you might be contacted to make an appointment before you are fully registered with the practice.  Please provide information of any repeat medication you are currently receiving, and ensure you have at least 1 months supply of medication before changing surgery.

If you wish to register with us you can download and fill out the following forms and bring them into the surgery.  Please remember to bring in a form of ID (preferably photographic) for every member of the household registering with us.

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.
