viewing results
requesting repeat prescriptions

All new patients are invited to make a health check with a member of the healthcare team to ensure that any required or screening tests are up to date and that we have an accurate note of any repeat medication you may be taking.

What is your 'named accountable GP':

Your 'named GP' is the GP who will ensure that we work with other health and care providers to deliver a health and care package that meets your needs.

Things to know about your 'named GP':

You can consult with any of our GPs or other clinicians - not just your 'named GP'
Your 'named GP' can't be available all of the time (they have families too!) - so other GPs and clinicians will support you too
If you would like to have a different 'named GP' to the one that we allocate to you - just let us know and we will try to meet your preference. If this is not possible - we will let tell you that we can't and will explain the reasons why
Your 'named GP' is not legally responsible for the support you receive from other health and care professionals

Changes to Personal Details

Temporary Registration

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 local 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.
