Registration
The Surgery List is open to take in new patients in our Surgery Area.
New Patients
On joining the practice you will be offered a “New Patient Interview”. This enables us to do some simple health checks. It also means we will know about any previous medical problems you may have had, any tablets you are taking and any allergies you may have.
Not Seen in the Last 3 Years?
Patients between the ages of 16 and 75, and those aged 75 years and over who have not been seen by a Doctor or Nurse for any reason during the last three years will be offered a consultation if requested by the patient.
Not Seen in the Last Year?
Patients aged over the age of 75 who have not been seen by a Doctor or Nurse for any reason during the last year will be offered a consultation if requested by the patient.
Full Registration
If you wish to register as a patient of this Surgery, you will need to bring your medical card (complete and sign section A) into the Surgery. If you are unable to locate your medical card there is a simple form available from the Surgery to enable the registration process, this form is also available below.
To register with the surgery, all you need to do is complete a registration form and take it with you to the surgery. As it may take several weeks for your medical records to be forwarded from your previous doctor, you are required to make an appointment with the Health Care Assistant for a check on your health and to provide us with some information about yourself.
Please contact the surgery if you have any queries.
