We also need new patients to carefully read and understand our New Patient's Medicine policy; in the interests of safe and effective prescribing, this gives an expection of how we manage prescribing, and our patient's responsibilities with regards to managing their medication

Medical treatment is available from the date of registration. Please contact reception for further information.

Appointments for New Patients

Patients registering with the Practice will be offered a New Patient Appointment with the Pharmacist or Practice Nurse.

All new patients will also need to complete a new patient health questionnaire giving details of your important past medical history, medication you are on, allergies etc.

Please note this appointment is primarily to collate your medical history - it is not generally with a Doctor - and it may be appropriate to attend again thereafter with a Doctor to follow up on medical concerns.

Please bring any medications you are taking to the new patient medical, so the doctor or pharmacist can see them. If you have any relevant past medical notes, or vaccination history, then please bring them.

Temporary Patient Registrations

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.
