NEW PATIENT REGISTRATION PROCESS

Patients can register by either completing registrations forms in the practice or online.  During Covid-19 (coronavirus) restrictions registration applications online are our preferred method.

To register with the practice you are required to complete the following TWO forms:-

1.  Pre-registration Form (GMS1) which can be digitally signed and submitted. 

AND

2.  New Patient Questionnaire - Adult

or  New Patient Questionnaire - Child Under 16

We do ask, if possible, that you provide photographic identification and/or proof of address for all adult registrations.  Sight of each child's 'Red Book' is also helpful at registration so we can ensure information collected at previous developmental checks is  transferred to the GP record.

Registration will not normally be declined should identification documents not be available. Proof of ID documents and new patient registration health questionnaires can be emailed to our admin email address:  somccg.admin.redgatemc@nhs.net .    Once your registration application has been processed emailed ID documents will be destroyed.

Change of Address

If you change name, address or telephone number, please let our receptionists know immediately. 

Easy ways to let us know 

Please ensure that we have a contact telephone number

If you move outside the practice area you may need to find a doctor in your new area.  

There are instructions on what to do when you move to a new area on the back of your NHS medical card.

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 necessary treatment from any local GP practice.  You will need to register as a temporary patient with the practice.

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.

If you require emergency necessary treatment please contact the Practice on 01278 454560. 

Alternatively the Temporary Resident form (below)

can be completed and emailed to the following email address at the practice .
