New Patient Registration

If you live within our practice area you are welcome to register with us and our reception staff will be happy to guide you through the procedure.

We will ask for 2 forms of identification one of which should preferably be photo I.D. such as a passport or driving license and one should have your current address i.e. utility bill, bank statement or rent agreement.

You will need to complete a registration form and a health questionnaire which will provide useful information whilst we wait for your medical records to arrive from your previous doctor. If you take repeat medication please ensure you have an adequate supply before registering with us as we may not be able to issue any medication straight away.

These forms can be collected from Reception

All new adult patients are required to have a New Patient Health Check with a member of the Nursing team  to ensure that information and any required tests are up to date and that we have an accurate note of any repeat medication you may be taking. It is preferable for this to be done prior to a Doctors appointment.

Please contact reception for any further information.

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.

We will only be able to accept patients that are within our catchment area. This will be checked against your post code when you complete the form.

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.

Special care has been taken to ensure that information is given in clear language, and the content and style has been tested with user groups. Open the leaflets in one of the following languages

English	Urdu
Albanian	Hindi
Arabic	Lithuanian
Bulgarian	Polish
Chinese (Cantonese)	Portuguese
Chinese (Mandarin)	Spanish
Russian	French
Turkish	Punjabi
Gujerati	Somali

We understand that people are very reluctant to change their G.P, especially if they have been with us for a number of years, but with the continued expansion of Telford housing and population we have reached the difficult decision of having to ask patients who move outside of our area to change their surgery.

These decisions have not been taken lightly and we have consulted with the Shropshire, Telford & Wrekin ICB as well as guidelines from GOV.UK, NHS Choices and NHS England to ensure we act in a fair and balanced way.

We at the Practice do not think it is clinically appropriate or practical to keep patients outside our catchment area.

We would request that if you receive an 'out of area' letter you re-register at a surgery within your new catchment area within 30 days, after which date we will, with regret, have to deduct you from our list.
