New Patient Health Check
After registration, you will be asked to attend an appointment with a Health Care Support Worker or Practice Nurse for a new patient health check.
The new patient check can be undertaken within 6 months following registration. This enables us to ensure that we have the correct details and to be aware of any current medical problems or medications. Please bring a sample of urine along to your first consultation.
How to Register your Newborn Baby
You need to register your newborn baby at the practice as soon as possible. Therefore, please download and complete a General Medical Services (GMS1) Registration Form (or ask reception for a paper copy) and send it to the surgery. Alternatively you can register your newborn online below. Please ensure you provide your baby’s NHS Number which will be detailed in their Red Book. Once we have received the form, we will register your baby as a patient at this Practice.
The Practice will send you an appointment for a mother and baby post-natal check. This is a 30-minute appointment; 20 minutes for the baby check and 10 minutes for the post-natal maternal check. Your baby’s course of routine immunisations will start at 8 weeks. Please remember to bring the red book. If you cannot make this appointment, you must notify reception as soon as possible. Please be advised that if you do need to cancel, the next available appointment may be anything up to 4 weeks after that date.
