New Patient Registration

St.Catherine's welcomes new patients, we have a straight forward registration process.

All registration applications will need to be accompanied by 2 forms of identification (1 needs to have a photograph i.e passport, driving licence and 1 needs to have confirmation of residency i.e utility bill). This will enable us to check your entitlement to NHS services.  This information needs to be brought to the surgery for verification by the individual registering.

Our welcome pack includes a copy of the practice leaflet, medical health questionnaire and practice charters. During the registration process you will be asked to complete a registration form for each family member including children.

Following registration your previous records will be requested, there is normally a delay of 4 to 6 weeks before they arrive, except if urgent. The accuracy of information you provide us with during registration is therefore very important.

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.

If you wish to pre-register click on the link below to open the form. When you have completed all of the details, click on the "Send" button to mail your form to us. Before we can register you fully, you will need to visit the surgery as you need to sign the form to confirm that the details are correct and bring your ID.

Please Note: All registration applications will need to be accompanied by 2 forms of identification (1 needs to have a photograph i.e passport, driving licence and 1 needs to have confirmation of residency i.e utility bill), and handed a New Patient Pack containing useful information. You will also be asked to fill out a medical questionnaire which is in our New Patient Pack. This is because it can take a considerable time for us to receive your medical records. 

Note that by sending the form you will be transmitting information about your self across the Internet and although every effort is made to keep this information secure, no guarantee can be offered in this respect.

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 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.
