NEW PATIENTS
Whilst we can accept registration forms at any time (excluding Wednesday afternoon when we’re closed), it would be very helpful if you are able to attend on the following days/times as these are our least busy periods:
Monday – Friday 11.00am-12.00 noon
Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday 2.00pm – 3.00pm (please note we are closed Wednesday pm)
The doctors welcome new patients who live within our practice area. Please check with reception to see if your address falls within our catchment area. You are asked to bring proof of address (Tenancy agreement, council tax bill, utility bill or bank statement) your NHS number and passport or photo ID. These documents are not a mandatory requirement and you will not be refused registration if you cannot produce them. If you have any difficulties in providing documents asked for , our friendly practice manager will ring and assist you to facilitate registration. Our aim is to make sure that the registration process is smooth and stress-free for the patient.
Your registration status with us will depend on whether you are a visitor, staying temporarily in the area or are a permanent resident.
As it often takes sometime for records to be forwarded from your former practice all newly registered patients will be asked to complete a health questionnaire and are offered a new patient health check with the nurse.
Please contact reception for further information
New patients are required to bring the following documents to the surgery and apply in person (unless housebound).
- Fully completed and signed GMS1 (Note: If you wish to join the NHS organ donor register, please fill in the appropriate section)
- Fully completed and signed New Patient questionnaire
Please fill in a separate New patient Health Questionnaire For Children for each child.
In order to speed up the submission process , we request you to make sure all sections are fully completed. We will retain both forms.
3. A photo ID (normally Passport or driving licence) .Please submit NHS card ,if available.
4. Proof of address ( Utility bill )
Please note- For children under 5 yrs , we will require the red book with fully completed form for children. The red books will be returned by the nurse during registration medical.
Once an application is submitted , we aim to approve and make the appointment to see nurse for registration medical check up within 2 weeks. Please tell receptionist, if there is a need to see the doctor sooner.
Once you are fully registered with the practice , you will be automatically sent a letter from NHSE confirming registration with practice.
If we are unable to accept your application , we will write to you within 2 weeks giving you the reasons.
