NEW PATIENT REGISTRATION FORM
You will need to complete a registration form and health questionnaire (PRF1) for each person registering, which will provide useful information whilst we wait for your medical records to arrive from your previous doctor. Please call in to the Practice to collect a registration form; download the form here - gp-registration.nhs.uk/register-with-a-gp-surgery-paper-form and bring the completed form into the Practice or alternatively, click here to complete a registration online.
New Patients on repeat medication will require an appointment to see an appropriate clinician initially.
Medical treatment is available from the date of registration. Please contact reception for further information.
(Please Note - Online access is unavailable for children under 16, please apply for Proxy access instead).
Guide to GP Services
The Royal College of General Practitioners has produced a useful guide for patients about the services on offer at GP Surgeries and how to access them. You can download the guide below.
Temporary 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.
Accountable GP
From 1st April 2015, practices are required to allocate all patients (including children) with a named accountable GP.
The named GP is responsible for the coordination and delivery of all appropriate services, where required based on clinical judgement, to each of their patients.
- Patients do not need to see their named GP when they book an appointment with the practice.
- Patients are entitled to choose to see any GP or nurse in the practice.
Online Access and Accessing Someone Else's Information
As a patient, parent, family member or carer, you may be able to access services for yourself or someone else. If you need to have access for someone else (proxy access), we can set this up for you if you are both registered with us.
To request proxy access either collect a form from reception, or download from the below and submit to the Practice :-
- Proxy Access Request Form to Online Records – Patient Consent (Adult).docx
- Proxy Access Request Form to Online Records for Children Under 11.doc
- Request for Online Access Registration Form.docx
Consent to disclose your health information
Please download and complete this form to consent to the disclosure of your private medical information to another party.
Linked profiles in your NHS account
Once proxy access is set up, you can access the other person’s profile in your NHS account, using the NHS App or website, providing you are both registered at the same practice.
The NHS website has information about using linked profiles to access services for someone else.
