New Patient Registration and Questionnaire (over 16)
Book a New Patient Health Check
New patients will be offered an appointment with the Practice Nurse for a New Patient check, if appropriate.
At registration you will be allocated a named GP for administration purposes, however, you are free to see any doctor in the practice. If you need to know their name please contact us.
Temporary Services
This is only for immediate & necessary care. You can also contact your own surgery for a telephone appointment as they can send prescriptions to any pharmacy.
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 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.
