New Patients

If you live within our practice area of WF10 or WF8 1 and would like to register with us, please complete one of our registration forms that are available from reception at both surgery sites or the electronic version available on this website. As it often takes some time for records to be forwarded from your former practice, all newly registered patients will be asked to complete a health questionnaire. Your registration will be complete when you have had a new patient health check.

If you wish to register with the surgery then please click on the link below. 

Please note: You will be registering with the practice rather than an individual GP and are free to see any available GP when booking appointments.

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 treatment from the local GP practice for 14 days. After 14 days you will need to register as a temporary or permanent patient.

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.

These fact sheets have been written to explain the role of UK health services, the National Health Service (NHS), to newly-arrived individuals seeking asylum. They cover issues such as the role of GPs, their function as gatekeepers to the health services, how to register and how to access emergency services.

Special care has been taken to ensure that information is given in clear language, and the content and style has been tested with user groups.
