Registering as a patient

You can register at the practice by bringing your medical card to the surgery.

If you do not have a medical card you will be asked to complete a registration form (GMS1) giving your name, address, date of birth, and details of your previous address and doctor. This allows the Health Authority to arrange for your medical record to be transferred to us. A copy of this form can be downloaded by clicking here. (Please note that this is a PDF document, therefore Adobe acrobat or similar pdf software will be required to open it).

If you cannot come to the surgery, registration may be may be carried out by an authorised representative who may sign the registration on your behalf.

 

 
Doctors' lists

Our reception staff will inform you which doctors' lists are open and you may express a preference for registering with a particular doctor.

We do our best to accommodate your wishes but please be aware that we cannot register you with a doctor whose list is closed.

We do encourage families to use the same doctor where possible. We feel this to be in your best interest.

 

New patient health check
When you register with the practice you will be invited to make an appointment with the health care assistant for a new patient health check. This allows any significant health problems or family history to be recorded prior to the receipt of your medical record and allows you to discuss any issues or concerns you may have.
