Register as a New Patient

Before filling out a registration form, check you are in our catchment area.

Find out with GPs you can register with on the NHS website.

To register

All new patients will also be asked to fill in a health questionnaire giving details of medical history and lifestyle. Both forms are available from our reception or online versions can be found below.

Once completed please hand back to the surgery reception with some proof of ID/address. Do not forget that we will need proof of any medications you are currently taking before we are able to issue them.

Your responsibility as a patient

  • To treat all staff with respect.
  • To keep appointments or to let us know in good time if you are not able to attend, in order for the appointment to be offered to another patient.
  • To tell us immediately if you change your address or telephone number.

 

Accessing someone else’s information

As a parent, family member or carer, you may be able to access services for someone else. We call this having proxy access. We can set this up for you if you are both registered with us.

To requests proxy access, please collect a proxy access form from reception from 9am to 5pm.

Linked profiles in your NHS account

Once proxy access is set up, you can access the other person’s profile in your NHS account, using the NHS App or website.

The NHS website has information about using linked profiles to access services for someone else.

Non English Speakers

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.

Access

At the Alexandra Surgery, reserved car parking spaces for the disabled are marked out near the left hand side entrance (as viewed from the front of the building). There is adequate wheelchair access to the building. There are WCs for disabled patients provided on both the ground and first floors. A lift is available. If access proves difficult to any of our disabled patients we would be happy to consider any suggestions for improvement.
