New Patient Registration

The practice welcomes new patients who live within our practice area. As it often takes sometime for records to be forwarded from your former practice all newly registered patients will be asked to complete a health questionnaire and are offered a consultation with a nurse or a doctor.

At the consultation it would be helpful if the new patient can bring a sample of urine, and all medications. They will have a general check up which may include Blood Pressure measurement, weight measurement etc.

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

Pre-registration Form

When you register you will also be asked to fill out a medical questionnaire. This is because it can take a considerable time for us to receive your medical records. There is an online version of this file too, which you may fill out and send to us. When you come to the surgery you will be asked to sign this form to confirm that the details are correct.

Online medical questionnaire for new patients

Note that by sending the form you will be transmitting information about your self across the Internet and although every effort is made to keep this information secure, no guarantee can be offered in this respect.

Alternatively you may print off a registration form, fill it out and bring it in with you on your first visit to the practice.

Noticeboard

IMPORTANT PATIENT NOTICE:

ORDERING REPEAT PRESCRIPTIONS

From 1st September 2012, you will no longer be able to order your prescription over the telephone. This is because our lines have become so busy, making it difficult for patients with urgent queries to get through.

The ways to order your repeat prescription will be:

*Online - please bring two forms of ID (one photographic) to reception and we will give you the access details.

*Pharmacy - most pharmacies will deal with ordering, dispensing (and delivery should you require) prescriptions.

*By Post/Hand - you can post the right hand side of your prescription to us or hand it over at the reception desk.

We hope you will understand the need to make this change. A recent survey in the practice showed the calls we take for repeat prescriptions alone take an average of 15 hours per week.

Many thanks for understanding.
