HOW
DO I...
REGISTER?
When the practice list is open, we are able to register patients who live within Our Practice Area. Any further enquiries about how to register should be directed to our reception staff. All new patients are invited to have a health check within the first few weeks of registering. General health checks and advice are offered. Please make an extended appointment with one of the doctors at reception. New patients have the right to express a preference for a particular practitioner, (although you are registered with the practice not with a particular doctor), and any such preferences will be noted in our records, if it is not possible to comply with such a preference, an explanation would be given.
Overseas Visitors
Eligibility for NHS treatment is not dependent on nationality or on past or present payment of UK taxes or National Insurance contributions, but on being ordinarily resident in the UK for a 'settled purpose' and having been so for six months or more. If you need medical treatment but do not fit into this category, you may be entitled to immediately necessary treatment - each case will be considered individually and will take into account the most recent guidance.
