New Patient Registration

The doctors welcome new patients who live within our practice area. As it often takes some time for records to be forwarded from your former practice all newly registered patients will be asked to complete a health questionnaire and are offered a consultation with the doctor.

Our practice operates a non-discriminatory registrations policy; you can pop in to surgery and get your registration paperwork or download them below and email any completed forms to us at clinicalinfo.m91654@nhs.net, alternatively you can register online via the forms linked above.

Your Rights and Responsibilities

Here at Pelsall Village Surgery we aim to treat our patients courteously at all times and in return, we expect our patients to treat our staff in a similarly polite and respectful manner.

As a patient, it is your responsibility to:

Attend your appointments
Arrive on time to your appointments
Inform us of your past illnesses, medication, hospital admissions and any other relevant details

How you can help us:

Please notify the reception staff of any change of name and/or address or new telephone number. You can do so by an administration request through accurx.
Remember to cancel any appointments with the doctor or nurse if you are unable to attend. Not attending an appointment without cancelling wastes precious resources and means that other patients have to wait longer for their appointments.
Please make one appointment per person. A doctor cannot see a whole family in one consultation.
Remember the extended GP service is for urgent problems only. Please do not contact the emergency doctor for a second opinion or for anything that wait until the next working day.
We offer extended access appointments which are available at other GP surgeries in the area OurNet – extended GP access.
Please let us know of any difficulties you find when using our services and we will endeavour to put things right.
We ask you to be kind to our staff and operate a be kind policy. Any verbal or physical abuse is not tolerated and may result in you being removed from the practice to a special allocation scheme.

Overseas Visitors

Those who visit the UK from overseas must pay for their care when they are in England.

In 2015 changes were made to how the NHS charges overseas visitors for healthcare so the NHS does not lose out on income for the services these patients have received.
