New Patient Registration

We have an open list and welcome requests for registration from patients living in or moving to the practice area.

You can register by bringing along your NHS medical card or by completing forms available below. Each person will need a registration form and a questionnaire. There is a separate questionnaire for under 16's. The forms are available to download from the above "Registering Online" tab.

You will also need to provide photographic proof of ID and proof of residency such as a recent utility bill.

We will make a note on your records if you prefer to see a particular doctor or nurse.

We recommend that new patients undertake a health check with a practice nurse.

Medical treatment is available from the date of registration which will only be completed upon receipt of the required identification & proof of residency. Please contact reception for further information.

Military Veterans

A veteran is someone who has served in the armed forces for at least 24hours. There are around 4.6 million veterans in the UK.

When Service men and women leave the armed forced their healthcare is the responsibility of the NHS

All veterans are entitled to priority access to NHS hospital care for any condition as long as it is related to their service, regardless of whether or not they receive a war pension

If the health speciality or service you are dealing with is unaware of your entitlement for priority treatment, you are actively encourage to tell them about it and ensure they know that 'you have served'. Failing that, you can enlist the support of your local armed forces network, your local authority Community Covenant Lead or one of the national service organisations such as the Royal British legion

All people leaving the armed forces are given a summary of their medical records which they are advised to give to their new GP when they register. If you no longer have a copy of the summary you can apply for one via the 'Requests for personal data and service records' page on http://www.gov.uk

Veterans are encouraged to tell their GP about their veteran status in order to benefit from priority treatment. If you are moving to a new location in England or returning from a posting abroad you need to make sure you register with an NHS GP. More information can be found on the NHS Choices website at:

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.

Summary Care Records

Summary Care Record - your emergency care summary

The NHS in England is introducing the Summary Care Record which will be used in emergency care.

The record will contain information about any medicines you are taking, allergies you suffer from and any bad reactions to medicines you have had to ensure those caring for you have enough information to treat you safely.

Your Summary Care Record will be available to authorised healthcare staff providing your care anywhere in England, but they will ask your permission before they look at it. This means that if you have an accident or become ill, healthcare staff treating you will have immediate access to important information about your health.

We are supporting Summary Care Records but as a patient you have a choice:

• Yes I would like a Summary Care Record - you do not need to do anything and a Summary Care Record will be created for you.
•  No I do not want a Summary Care Record - enclosed is an opt out form. Please complete the form and hand it to a member of the GP practice staff.
