New Patient Registration
If you take high risk drugs
If you take high risk drugs like methotrexate, ADHD medication etc which is under shared care agreement between consultant and GP, we need to know the name of the medication and the details of consultant/ provider who initiated the high risk medication. Before we can safely and appropriately prescribe high risk drugs, the specialist service must provide an updated Shared Care Agreement addressed to our practice, along with the most recent clinic letter confirming the diagnosis, current dose, titration history, physical health monitoring, and ongoing review plan.
Once this has been received and signed by both parties, we can start prescribing. If the provider is private rather than an NHS‑commissioned or accredited Right to Choose ADHD service, shared care would not be possible and the provider would be expected to continue prescribing
Patients on repeat medication can request one months supply of medication from your existing GP while waiting for share care agreement for the high risk drugs.
How to Register
Check you live within the boundary area
To access our registration process, first check you are in our catchment area. If you have any questions about your eligibilty join this surgery please contact us.
Temporary Services
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 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.
Your Named GP
The surgery provides all patients with a named GP who will have overall responsibility for the care and support that our surgery provides to them.
We need to divide our patients evenly between all of our doctors, so they can manage their workload. Therefore to do this fairly and impartially, we have selected patients by surname to match to a doctor.
We know that some patients will wish their named GP to be a particular doctor. Where a patient expresses a preference as to which doctor they have been assigned, the practice will make reasonable efforts to accommodate this request, but we would like to reassure patients that this system does not prevent you from seeing any GP in the practice as you currently do. Your named GP will not be available at all times.
You do not need to take any further action and will be informed of your named GP in due course. In the meantime, if you wish to be told the name of your accountable GP, please ask the receptionists when you are next in the surgery.
