Catchment Area
Registering with the Practice
We welcome any new patient that lives within the boundaries of the practice area.
You can apply to register with us by completing one of the registration forms available at reception or by filling out the form online below.
Important Prescribing Information for New Patients
To ensure safe prescribing, we require an up-to-date medication list from your previous GP. Once received, we will update your records to enable prescription requests. Please ensure you have at least 7 days’ supply of medication from your previous GP (note: prescriptions take 48 hours to process).
Our Prescribing Policy
For patient safety and in line with clinical guidelines, we do not routinely prescribe the following medications for non-cancer pain or long-term use due to risks of strong dependence, side effects, or limited evidence of benefit:
Strong opioids
Oramorph/Morphine, Codeine, Dihydrocodeine, Tramadol
Benzodiazepines & ‘Z-drug’ sleeping tablets
Diazepam, Lorazepam, Loprazolam, Nitrazepam, Temazepam, Zopiclone
Gabapentinoids
Gabapentin, Pregabalin
If you are currently taking any of these medications, our clinicians will work with you to create a personalised reduction plan. This will involve a gradual, agreed taper to minimise withdrawal effects, supported by alternative treatments where appropriate. A signed agreement may be set up to ensure shared understanding.
We would like to inform you that, unfortunately, we are unable to enter into shared care arrangements for the prescribing or monitoring of ADHD Medications. At present, our clinicians do not provide routine prescribing for ADHD under shared care protocols. If you are currently under the care of a specialist for ADHD, you will need to continue to receive your prescriptions and medication reviews through your specialist service.
We understand this may be disappointing, and we recommend discussing your ongoing treatment needs with your ADHD specialist team to ensure your care continues without interruption. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you need clarification or support regarding this matter.
By registering with us, you acknowledge this policy and agree to engage with reduction plans if applicable. We appreciate your cooperation and look forward to supporting your health.
We never discriminate on the grounds of age, sex, medical condition, race, disability or social class, and if we are unable to register you we will always provide you with a reason in writing.
If you are already registered with us and move out of the area, we may still be able to provide you with medical services. Contact reception for more details.
Named GP
Whilst you are registered with the practice, every patient has a named GP who is responsible for overseeing their clinical care, they are known as your ‘Usual GP’. If you are unsure who your ‘Usual GP’ is please ask.
