New Patient Registration
If you live within our practice area you are welcome to register with us and our reception staff will be happy to guide you through the procedure.
All new patients are offered a health check with a member of the healthcare team to ensure that any required tests are up to date and that we have an accurate note of any repeat medication you may be taking.
Patients are registered with the practice, not with an individual GP. Your medical card will be issued in the name of one of the doctors who will supervise your care. However, you can at any time express a preference for a practitioner, for either all of your medical needs or on a case-by-case basis. This preference will be recorded in your medical notes. Whilst the practice will always try to comply with your requests on all occasions, it may not always be possible.
