New Patient Registration

The practice only accepts applications from patients who are living within the designated practice boundary 

Each new patient is given the opportunity to undergo a medical check-up. This initial check-up is carried out by the nurse and helps her to assess your general health and to familiarise them with your medical history (please bring a urine sample with you). Children under five do not need to attend unless you so wish.

Change of Address

Please let us know as soon as possible any change of name or address. Unless you do this, the Family Health Service Authority may remove your name from you list of patients without letting you know. Please note the catchment area for the surgery covers Allington postcodes only.

Facilities

Our surgery premises have been designed to allow disabled access. All our services and facilities are available on the ground floor. We provide a children’s area and ask parents to consider other patients by ensuring their children have put away the toys when they have finished playing so the accidents can be avoided.

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.

Online 'Pre-Registration' With The Practice - please note we only accept patients living in the Allington area

If you wish to pre-register click on the link below to open the form. When you have completed all of the details, click on the "Send" button to mail your form to us. You will still need to visit the practice to verify your ID and to make an appointment for a New Patient check.

Pre-registration Form

When you register you will also be asked to fill out a medical questionnaire. This is because it can take a considerable time for us to receive your medical records. There is an online version of this file too, which you may fill out and send to us. When you come to the surgery you will be asked to sign this form to confirm that the details are correct.

Online Medical Questionnaire For New Patients

Note that by sending the form you will be transmitting information about your self across the Internet and although every effort is made to keep this information secure, no guarantee can be offered in this respect.

Alternatively you may print off a registration form, fill it out and bring it in with you on your first visit to the 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 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.
