How to Register

Patients should obtain a Registration form from Reception and sign and complete appropriately. This should be returned to reception as soon as possible so that we can obtain your medical records from your previous practice.

We operate a system in the Practice whereby you can see any of the General Practitioners and not solely the Doctor whom you are registered with.

The best way to receive excellent medical care from our doctors is to choose one, and to stay with them, as the long term relationship and knowledge of your medical history is invaluable. Switching doctors frequently can be rather confusing and frustrating, both for you and the doctor, as you will need to repeat your problem and start from scratch every time, though your medical records can help the doctor know what has been happening to you. We quite understand that there will be times when you need to see any doctor quickly for an urgent problem, but the value of this has to be balanced against continuity of care.

Newly Registered Patients

All newly registered patients will be asked to complete a questionnaire and have a consultation with the Practice Nurse for a small new patient medical to be completed. This involves a blood pressure, height, weight and urine check.

Medical treatment is available from the date of registration.
