New Patient Registration

Register with the practice as a new patient

How to register

Check you live within the boundary area

To access our registration process, first check you are in our catchment area. If you have any questions about your eligibilty join this surgery please contact us.

We can only register people living inside this area. 

If you do move outside of the boundary area, you may still be allowed to remain on our practice list, dependent upon where you move to, however you would be required to be registered as an out of area patient. Please enquire with our Reception Manager.

Your named GP

All patients will be allocated with a named GP who will have overall responsibility for the care and support that our surgery provides to them.
This does not prevent you from seeing any GP in the practice as you currently do. New patients are allocated a GP on registration If you would like to know who is your allocated GP please ask at reception.

 

Protecting patients

We ask you for information so that you can receive proper care and treatment. The information you give us and your medical records will be kept on computer. You have a right of access to your health records. Everyone working for the NHS has a legal duty to keep information about you confidential. If at any time you would like to know more about how we use your information you can speak to the person in charge of your care or to the Practice Manager.

 

Communication

If you have any communication or support needs relating to a disability, impairment or sensory loss please let us know when you register and give us more information to guide us in how we can best meet your needs. This might include what is the best method of contact for you or whether you would need support in communications with the practice.

The obligations that the NHS has, together with the rights that every individual enjoys, are set out in the Data Protection Act 1998.
