We ask all new patients to complete a confidential health questionnaire and to arrange an appointment with our health care assistant in order to undergo a general health check.

Upon registration, new patients are usually registered with an allocated doctor but we have a policy that allows patients to see the doctor of their choice whenever possible.

We are committed to equal opportunities regardless of gender, creed, sexual orientation, age, colour or race.

The Importance of NHS Numbers

Your NHS number is the only National Unique Patient Identifier, used to help healthcare staff and service providers match you to your health record.

Correct use of the NHS Number can greatly reduce the risks to patient safety arising from lost records and inaccessibility of records across organisational, administrative and clinical boundaries. It can also reduce errors arising from similarities and complexities in patients’ names and other personal data.

When registering at the practice we encourage our new patients to provide as much information as possible including the NHS Number, if known. If the NHS number is not known the NHS number will be traced via the Primary Care Registration Office on a national system known as the Personal Demographic Service. This PDS record will provide information about our patients previous GP and allow their previous medical history to be transferred to our practice.

Once the registration process is completed your NHS Number will be confirmed. We encourage all our patients to ask reception for their NHS Number details to then keep for their own record.
