REGISTER
WITH THE PRACTICE?
Anyone wishing to register with this surgery will be given forms to complete which gives our practice some information on your medical history. They will also be given an appointment with our Health Care Assistant for a routine health check. This examination is brief but gives us useful information until your complete medical records arrive from your previous doctor. All children over the age of five should be brought in to see the nurse also. Formal registration is always at the discretion of a doctor.
If the new patient has very limited command of the English language, they are requested to be accompanied by either a relative, friend etc who is able to interpret for them.
