It is the
policy of this practice to require certain information from patients before
registering them with the Practice. This policy is not to decide whether we
will or will not register any patient, but merely to ensure that we have
sufficient and correct information to offer you appropriate medical services
prior to your medical records arriving from your previous practice.
In some cases
your notes can take up to 3 months to reach us and should you need urgent
medical treatment during this time we will have enough information from your
patient questionnaire to enable us to manage your condition safely.
We therefore
will not register any patient over 15 until we have a fully completed
pre-registration questionnaire. A fully trained member of staff will go
through the pre-registration questionnaire with you and enter the
information immediately into our clinical system, in this way we do not
experience the information gap which can occur when patient’s move
practices.
For children
under 5 we require the child’s red book to enable us to photocopy the
immunisation status of the child to ensure your child is added to the
appropriate recall system.
For all
patients over 45 we require a blood pressure reading before registration. It
will be necessary for all patients over the age of 45 to attend the surgery
personally to register.
All patients
who are on repeat medication will need to make a doctor’s appointment upon
registering.
Please be
assured that our policy is to enable us to give you the very best medical
care and service at all times.
