New Patients

Please Note: New patients will be expected to agree to our controlled drugs policy ⚠️

We welcome new patients from the town and surrounding area. Please take a look at our practice boundary map.

Registering with us is simple; you can download and complete the forms from our website or register directly online via the following link https://gp-registration.nhs.uk/P81212

Providing as much information as possible on the health questions will provide valuable information while we wait for your medical records from your previous doctor.

Please be advised that we currently accept registrations from anywhere in England. However, home visits are only available to patients living within the practice’s inner boundary.

All new patients are offered a health check with a healthcare team member to ensure that any required tests are up to date and that we have an accurate record of any repeat medications they may be taking.

Medical treatment is available from the date of registration. Please get in touch with reception for further information.

1. The easiest way to register is using the online link https://gp-registration.nhs.uk/P81212
2. A staff member will contact you once you have submitted the new patient registration form within five working days.
3. If your registration is accepted, you will then be asked to complete a medical questionnaire and agree to our controlled drug policy.
4. For out of area patients please also complete the OOA form - Out of area registration - New Patient.docx

If you are ill while away from home or 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 must register as a temporary or permanent patient.

You can register as a temporary patient for up to three months. This allows you to be on the local practice list and 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.

Contact the local practice you wish to use to register as a temporary patient. 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.

As part of the commitment to more personalised healthcare for patients, NHS Employers and the General Practitioners Committee of the British Medical Association have agreed that all patients will have a named accountable GP

• Hazelvalley Family Practice will ensure that a named accountable GP is assigned to each patient.
• New patients will be allocated a GP at the time of registration
• Your named accountable GP will be the same as your registered GP; however, this does not affect your ability to see any GP of your choice as you currently do.

You do not need to take any further action, but if you have any questions or wish to discuss this further with us, please contact us on 01706 253700.
