HOW
DO I... REGISTER
WITH THE PRACTICE?
To register at the practice (providing
our list is open to accept new patients) you must present your medical card as
this contains all the information required to obtain your medical records from
your previous doctor.
We can only register patients onto our list who
have recently moved into our practice area (see map page),
family members and those who find themselves outside their current practice area
and now included in ours (in this instance you will have received a letter from
the Registration Department and should bring this with you when you register here).
All new patients (other than those under five years old) who register with
the practice will need to be seen by the practice nurse during the registration
process. This is known as a new patient check. We will ask you to complete a short
questionnaire which will ask various health-related questions. This is to enable
us to identify any health issues you may have whilst we are waiting for your complete
medical records to arrive from your previous doctor.
HOW
DO I... NOTIFY
CHANGES TO MY PERSONAL DETAILS?
If at any time you happen to change your name, address or telephone number you
must let the practice know. This will avoid any problems or embarrassment when
trying to contact you or arrange for medication or appointments. If you move
outside the practice area (see map page) please do not
assume that we can continue to look after you. If you have any doubts please
check with the doctor.
