New Patient Registration

If you live within our practice area you are welcome to register with us and our reception staff will be happy to guide you through the procedure. Eligibility can be quickly confirmed from your address so please provide proof by way of a recent utility bill. We also require one form of photographic ID.

The Practice covers:

• Redcar
• Marske & New Marske
• Wilton, Lazenby & Yearby.

We are unable to accept patients outside of this area.

Patients wishing to join will need to complete a registration form (GMS1) and a health questionnaire which will provide useful information whilst we wait for your medical records to arrive from their previous doctor.

New patients may be offered a health check with a member of the healthcare team to ensure that any required tests are up to date and that we have an accurate note of any repeat medication they may be taking.

Once registered, patients may book appointments with the GP of their choice subject to availabilty.

New Patients Prescribing Policy

The doctors in this Practice only prescribe short courses of the following drugs in exceptional circumstances due to their addictive nature:

• Temazepam
• Nitrazepam
• Lormetazepam
• Diazepam
• Lorazolam
• Zopiclone
• Zolpidem

If you wish to join the Practice and are currently taking one of more of these drugs you will be asked to consent and participate in a planned reduction programme - you will receive full support from the Practice.

Change of Name/Address

Please let us know of any changes to your name, address and any additions to your household so that our records can be kept up to date.

Guide to GP Services

The Royal College of General Practitioners has produced a useful guide for patients about the services on offer at GP Surgeries and how to access them.  You can download the guide below.

A Patient Guide to GP Services

When patients visit the surgery for the first time they will be asked to complete a registration form.

Patients will also be asked to fill out a medical questionnaire. This is because it can take a considerable time for us to receive patients medical records. This gives the surgery a picture of patients medical needs while we wait for the full health records to arrive.

Alternatively patients may print off these forms, fill them out and bring them to the practice to register. The receptionist will make sure they are completed correctly before adding them to the surgery list.

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 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.
