how To register with the Practice

The practice team welcomes you and trusts that they will be of service to you.

To register as a patient with our practice, please attend in person, when you will be asked to complete a registration form. You will be asked to provide proof of identity. If transferring from another practice details of your previous practice will also be required, including a telephone number. The information is required to ensure all your details are entered onto our computer system correctly and enables us to access any medical records we need to provide correct and safe treatment.

You will be offered an appointment for a new patient medical examination with a practice nurse or a health care assistant, so that a brief history of previous illnesses can be taken and routine checks of blood pressure etc may be made. The information gathered at this examination is important because it may be some time before your previous medical records are sent to the practice.

You will be registering with the practice, not with a particular doctor. You may ask to see a particular doctor if you wish, but this may mean a longer wait for an appointment. Please note that we need to register new born babies as soon as possible.

FACILITIES FOR DISABLED PATIENTS

There are designated disabled parking spaces in front of our building and the surgery’s main entrance has a ramp for wheel chair access. The surgery is a single storey building so wheel chair access is possible to all our consulting rooms. The surgery has a designated disabled toilet as well as toilet facilities for the able-bodied.

carers

The practice is keen to identify any patients who are carers. Should any patient think that they fall into this category, they should speak to either their GP or the Business Manager for clarification.
