You will be offered a new patient medical check. If you choose to accept this, it will be carried out by a member of our nursing team. If you are on any repeat medication you will require a GP consultation.

When you register you will be added to the practice list and not to the list of an individual doctor and can be seen by any of the doctors. It may not always be possible to see the doctor of your choice on a particular day or time.
