Registering with the surgery
To ensure a smooth and timely registration process, please provide full details of your previous GP practice when registering with us. This allows us to request and transfer your medical records efficiently.
If you are joining us from abroad, we strongly recommend that you obtain a copy of your medical records and provide them to us. This will help us set up your care more quickly, particularly for any ongoing or repeat medication requests.
To register with the surgery:
- fill out an online registration form
- download a patient registration form and adult new patient health questionnaire or child new patient health questionnaire to bring to the practice
- download a PRF form to bring to the practice
- visit reception when we are open and collect a paper registration form
When you register, it’s helpful to have your NHS number. You can use the NHS website to find your NHS number.
Named GP
All patients at The Lakes Medical Practice have a named, accountable doctor who is responsible for coordinating their care.
Your named doctor will be allocated to you by the practice. You can still talk to or make appointments to see any of our doctors or nurses, not just your named GP.
If you have a preference and would like to request a particular doctor at the practice to be your named GP please talk to one of our receptionists.
