New Patient Registeration
Emergency treatment will be provided irrespective of your N.H.S. status.
Patients who are not eligible for or entitled to free N.H.S. treatment will be offered our services at an appropriate fee. Relevant details are available from the reception desk.
Preliminary visit
As a registered patient you will be offered a preliminary appointment designed to introduce you to our services and to discuss any medical worries or problems you may have. At this visit you will be seen by a clinical member of our team whose function is to collect data about your health and to introduce you to the various facilities available to you. We hope to see all newly registered patients within three months of enrolment. May we request that you complete the brief preliminary visit questionnaire available from reception and bring it with you at the time of your appointment. Please bring a urine specimen when you attend for a new patient screening appointment.
The Practice runs an appointment system of both pre-bookable appointments, online appointments and appointments bookable on the day. An appointment can be made in person or by telephoning the Surgery during opening hours. When you contact the surgery please ask the receptionist for their name in case you need to contact the surgery further.
As per N.H.S. registration requirements you will be registered with the Practice. However, you do have a right to express a preference to see any doctor.
