New Patient Registration

We are happy to register patients living within 1.5 miles of either surgery. We can register patients outside this area but will not provide home visits.

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 should have a new patient medical 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.

Please contact reception to arrange an appointment for your new patient medical. Note that medical treatment is only available once you have had your new patient medical. Please contact reception for further information.

Guide to GP Services

The Royal College of General Practitioners has produced a useful guide for patients about the services on offer at GP Surgeries and how to access them.  You can download the guide below.

Online 'Pre-Registration' With The Practice

If you wish to pre-register click on the links below to open the forms. You will need to complete both the Pre-registration and the Medical Questionnaire form. When you have completed all of the details, click on the "Send" button to mail both forms to us. When you visit the surgery for the first time you will be asked to sign the forms to confirm that the details are correct. We ask you to fill out a medical questionnaire when you register with our practice. This is because it can take a considerable time for us to receive your medical records. If you choose to complete these forms online, you will need to contact the practice by telephone on 01384 239657 to arrange a new patient medical.

Online Medical Questionnaire For New Patients

Note that by sending the form you will be transmitting information about your self across the Internet and although every effort is made to keep this information secure, no guarantee can be offered in this respect.

Alternatively you may print off a registration form, fill it out and bring it in to the practice.

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.
