Practice Area

We are accepting new patients and we can cover areas mainly in Wolverhampton, if you are out of the area the practice has the option to register service users although they would need to understand we would not be able to provide home visits, the practice needs to ascertain whether it is clinically appropriate.

Registration

Everyone is welcome, in general practice, when requesting to join the surgery we ask you to come in person, you do not need to provide proof of ID, NHS number, immigration status or NHS number in order to receive care but helpful if you have.

The NHS is not free to everyone, and overseas visitors must be charged for specified services, including NHS services so we will be asking you to provide us with information and certain documents to support your claim for free treatment.

If you are a visitor from inside the European Economic Area (EEA) we would ask that you bring your European Health Insurance card (EHIC) or proof of travel insurance along with proof of your nationality with you.

If you are from outside the EEA you will need to provide us with documents to prove your identity where you live, work and when entered the UK, for example passport, visa, current utility bill, council tax or bank statement documents less than 3 months old.

Once you have registered you will be able to make an appointment to see the nurse if you feel you need a health check. She will ask you about your health in general and you will be weighed, have your blood pressure taken and give a sample of urine to be tested.

Provision of Services

Every patient at our practice has a named accountable GP who is responsible for their overall care at the practice. Unless you are told otherwise, this is the GP you are registered with, but does not stop you from seeing any other GPs at the surgery. If you would like to be reminded of your registered GP, or if you would prefer another doctor to be your named accountable GP, then please ask reception. We will make reasonable efforts to accommodate your preferences.

Change of Personal Details

Please let us know as soon as possible if you change your name, address or home and mobile telephone numbers. If you move outside the practice area you should register with a doctor who is local to your new address

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.
