We welcome new patients.
If you would like to register with us please follow the NHS Registration link below to register.
Medical treatment is available from the date of registration. Please contact reception for further information or, if you live within our catchment area (see catchment area map)
New Patient Health Check
Every patient registering with the practice will have the opportunity of a new patient consultation. The appointment gives you a chance to meet us, have your health checked and bring to light any ongoing medical problems or important past medical history, including continuing your medication.
Your appointment will be with our Health Care Assistant.
We will ask you about the following:
– Your past medical history (important illnesses and operations)
– Ongoing medical problems
– Medication
– Family history
– You will have your blood pressure taken and your urine will be tested. Occasionally other examinations or tests may be done if needed

Guide to GP Services
The Royal College of General Practitioners has produced a useful guide for patients about the services on offer at GP Surgeries and how to access them. You can download the guide below.
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.
If you require medication or advice by telephone, in the first instance contact your usual GP. They will have access to your full records and can arrange a prescription to be sent to a local chemist for collection.
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 register as a temporary patient elsewhere 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.
Your Rights and Responsibilities, as a Patient
Patients will receive consistent, coordinated, person-centred care and support. You will not be discriminated against for race, gender, social class, age, religion, sexual orientation, appearance, or disability/medical condition.
Being a patient means that you have responsibilities too. Basic courtesies include being polite and respectful to Doctors and staff. Please be punctual for appointments or let us know if appointments are no longer required. You should inform us immediately if you change your name, address or telephone number. Do not misuse the out of hours service for routine or trivial matters. Please take your medicines as directed by the Doctor, and if you choose to stop taking them, it is sensible to let the Doctor know. You have the right to request to be treated by a preferred Doctor and we must endeavour to comply with your request, however there are circumstances under which we may be unable to. It should be understood that the choice of Doctor may not be absolute and may depend on availability, appropriateness and reasonableness of the request.
Please be aware that abusive, aggressive or violent conduct by any patient or patient’s representative, towards any Doctor, member of staff or any other person on the surgery premises, is actionable by removal from the surgery list.
