New Patient Information

Please read our  Practice Leaflet  (2 page pdf) 

All patients, including children, are allocated a named, accountable doctor, referred to as your 'Usual GP' - you should be advised who this is when you register.  We encourage you to see your Usual GP where possible, particularly for on-going problems.  Please note, we do not ask new patients to make a first appointment for a general health check.

This practice is signed up to the Electronic Prescription Service (EPS) - if you have previously nominated a pharmacy which is no longer convenient for you to attend, please ensure you update your nomination by telling us or your new pharmacy.

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.
