In some cases when you register you may be invited to attend for a health check. This gives us the opportunity to meet you and your family and plan any special health needs you may have and, where there is a family history of chronic disease eg diabetes or heart disease, conduct screening tests

The practice will try to accommodate any specific requests that you have regarding your medical care. If you have any personal requirements or health care needs due to religious, moral or ethical preferences please inform us in writing so that we can update your records accordingly. On registration with the practice you will be assigned an 'accountable GP'.  This does not mean you have to see that person, if you prefer to be seen by a specific practitioner please let the practice know; however this may not be possible in case of emergency.

We look forward to welcoming you to our practice.

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 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. You cannot register as a temporary patient at a practice in the town or area where you are already registered.

There are around 2.6m veterans in the UK. A military veteran is anyone who has served in the armed forces for at least 1 day.

When servicemen and women leave the armed forces, their healthcare is the responsibility of the NHS. It is very important that veterans both register with an NHS GP and tell them that they have served.

Telling the GP practice about your veteran status will trigger the transfer of your full medical documentation from the Ministry of Defence to your GP and enable you to benefit from veteran-specific services like prosthetics and mental health.

All veterans are entitled to priority access to NHS care (including hospital, primary or community care) for conditions associated with their time within the armed forces. But this is always subject to clinical need and doesn't entitle you to jump the queue ahead of someone with a higher clinical need.

If the NHS service you're dealing with is unaware of priority treatment, you're actively encouraged to tell them about it and ensure you have told them you have served.

We would also like to know if a member of your family is a military veteran, please inform the reception staff. If you have a friend or know a veteran, please ask them to inform their GP practice. Staff will be happy to answer any questions.
