New Patient Registration
Just come along to the surgery during opening hours.
For EU citizens who have never registered with a GP in the UK, you will need to bring two proofs of residence in the UK(a utility bill, for example).You must also provide a valid passport. Driving licences are not accepted by the Health Authority.
For Non-EU citizens who have never registered with a GP in the UK, you will need to bring two proofs of residence (a utility bill, for example), your valid passport, and copies of any visas. Driving licences are not accepted by the Health Authority
If possible, it is best to register before you need to see a doctor, because it is helpful to have the records from your previous GP. It can take as long as two months for the notes to be transferred.
All new patients will have to book a ‘New Patient Check’ with the Practice Nurse which they must attend before the registration can be processed. Please ask at reception for details.
If you have medical problems for which you have been receiving treatment from your own GP, please make an appointment for the doctor as soon as you can.
If you are on regular medication please bring it with you so that prescriptions can be organised.
New patient check up (registration check)
We encourage all new patients to have a registration medical check with the practice nurse. The check is completely free and takes about 20 minutes.
The purpose of the check is to find out about any existing problems for which you are receiving treatment, and also, to help you live a healthy lifestyle. The nurse will ask about
-
current and past illnesses and operations
-
illnesses that run in the family
-
medication and allergies
-
any screening tests such as cervical smears
-
any immunisations such as tetanus
She will check your blood pressure, weight, and height.
