Practice Area

We are happy to accept patients who live in the postcode areas G34 and parts of G33 which are G33 3, G33 4 and G33 5. If you move house, let us know immediately. If you move house outside the postcode areas above, we will be unable to keep you on our list if we cannot continue to provide our standard of service to you.

Registration

A receptionist will give you a registration form and will book you an appointment with the health care assistant to go over the form, check your identity information, check if you require repeat prescriptions and previous GP contact details and inform you of our online repeat prescribing information and online booking of appointments and a few medical questions.  

If you prefer a particular type of doctor e.g. female for a female patient and vice versa we will note this and do our best to respect your choice. However not all the doctors in the practice provide all services and specific doctors may not be immediately available.

Proof identity will be required e.g. utility bill e.g electric or gas bill and photo identification e.g. drivers license or passport. 

Guide to GP Services

The Royal College of General Practitioners has produced a useful guide for patients about the services on offer at GP Surgeries and how to access them.  You can download the guide below.

A Patient Guide to GP Services

These fact sheets have been written to explain the role of UK health services, the National Health Service (NHS), to newly-arrived individuals seeking asylum. They cover issues such as the role of GPs, their function as gatekeepers to the health services, how to register and how to access emergency services.

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.
