How Do I.... Register With The Practice?
On requesting to join the Panel, people will be asked to complete a New Patient Questionnaire. Please ensure this form is filled out completely and any requested items are brought to the surgery so that registration can be completed swiftly (e.g. NHS number, repeat prescription request slip, etc.). Incomplete information may delay your registration. You may need to have a simple health check with our HCA who will ask about medical history, etc.
You must attend for the health check, and you must bring the completed paperwork with you. You will not be registered with the Practice until you do.
Part of the information needed is your NHS number. The 10-digit number is on your NHS card. As NHS registration is now done electronically we will not be able to accept you onto the panel until we have this number as it is part of the requirements. This will also help your medical records to arrive at the Practice more quickly.
If you do not know your number your current GP will have it on record so please contact them first to request it. |
How Do I.... Change My Details?
It is important that you inform us of any changes of address or telephone number as soon as possible, to maintain up-to-date records, as we may need to contact you at some stage, or use the information in hospital referral letters, etc.
Registered patients who move outside the Practice boundary must register with a new practice within that area. If you have difficulties registering with a practice in the Stoke-on-Trent area please contact the Health Authority on 01782 298000 and ask for Registrations.
