On registering with one of our practices you are offered a new patient medical with a practice nurse.

USUAL DOCTOR
All patients, including children, are allocated a named, accountable GP who is responsible for their overall care at the practice. This is referred to as your ‘Usual Doctor’. You should be informed of your Usual Doctor when you register, but you can also check who this is with any member of staff at any time. We encourage you to see your Usual Doctor where possible, particularly for ongoing problems, so we can provide you with better continuity of care. If he/she is fully booked, you can ask for another doctor. We will make reasonable efforts to accommodate requests to change Usual Doctor.

TEMPORARY RESIDENTS
We are happy to see patients who are temporarily staying in one of our practice areas should medical advice be required. Those wishing to be treated need to state that they are a “temporary resident” when reporting to reception where you will need to complete a temporary resident registration form.
