Register with the Parklands Surgery as a new patient

How to register

The doctors welcome new patients who live within our practice area. If you move out of the practice area you may need to register with another practice.

Check you live within the boundary area

To access our registration process, first check you are in our catchment area. If you have any questions about your eligibilty join this surgery please contact us.

New patient health checks

All patients joining the practice are encouraged to have a medical assessment with one of the Healthcare Assistants. 

During the medical, we will ask you for a urine specimen for testing and will record your blood pressure, height and weight. We will ask you some questions about your health and record any chronic illnesses you may have. Please bring with you any details of current medication and allergies. 

This assessment is very useful to us.

Change of address or telephone number

Please let us know as soon as possible if you change your address or telephone number.

Temporary services

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 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.

Your named GP

All Patients registered with the surgery will have been allocated a named accountable GP who will be responsible for your overall care. However, you can book appointments with any of the GPs at the surgery. If you have a preference to which GP you are allocated, the practice will make reasonable efforts to accommodate your requests. If you wish to know which GP has been allocated to you, please ask reception at your next visit.
