Joining The Lakeside Surgeries

We are using a new online service called Register with a GP surgery that makes it easy to register with this GP surgery.

Just fill in this quick online form to start the process. You do not need proof of address or immigration status, ID or an NHS number. 

Register with a GP Surgery

The service is designed and run by the NHS, so your personal information is safe. It cuts our administrative workload and makes it easier for you to register.  

Paper forms are still available if you need one. 

Accountable / Named GP for All Patients

As part of a national programme, from April 2015 all practices are required to provide all their patients with a named GP who will have overall responsibility for the care and support that the surgery provides to them. The surgery operate personal GP lists and you as a patient will be informed of your named GP at the point of registration.
Your named GP will have overall responsibility for your care but it does not prevent or restrict you from seeing any other GP or nurse in the Practice.

Register with a GP Surgery

We aim to offer all new patients, over the age of 16 years, a medical review when they join the Practice. To help us gather important information about our new patients we appreciate the completing of a health questionnaire and for our new patients to bring a specimen of urine for testing at the consultation.

You may print off a registration form, fill it out and bring it in with you on your first visit to the practice.

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.
