HOW DO I....
REGISTER WITH THE PRACTICE?
Under the terms of
the Department of Health contract for General Medical Services all patients will be
registered with the practice rather than with an individual GP. However, you have
the right to see a doctor of your choice and, where possible, we will observe
this right. The receptionist will ask at the time of making an appointment if
you have a preferred choice of doctor, and will provide a reasonable explanation
if we cannot comply with this choice. All patients registering with the practice
will be invited to have an introductory medical examination. We encourage all
new patients to take up this offer as we consider it an important way of getting
to know your medical history.
