Patient Registration

Once it has been established that new patients reside within the practice’s geographical boundary (reception can advise), they will be invited to complete a confidential pre-registration form and may be asked to attend for a new patient medical. Patients will not be registered with an individual doctor, but with the partnership. All patients have the right to see the doctor of their choice where it is possible and provided that the doctor routinely offers the services that they wish to avail of. Where a doctor does not provide that particular services, patients will be offered the opportunity to consult with another doctor who provides the service within the partnership

Practice Area

Our practice area is within a 7 mile radius of the surgery. This is to ensure that we continue to maintain the required level of service provision to our patients. If you move to an area outside this radius, you will be required to register with your nearest practice WITHIN 30 DAYS.

You can obtain a registration form from reception.

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 for 14 days. After 14 days you will need to register as a temporary or permanent patient. 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 re-register as a temporary patient 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.
