NEW - Register Online

You can now register as a patient by using our new online registration service. Just fill-in the quick online form by clicking the button below

How to register with the practice if you are not able to do it online:

You can register with a GP in England regardless of your nationality or immigration status.

We will not ask about your immigration status and your information is confidential. If you are worried about giving us your address, please let us know.

It does help us to get accurate details if you can bring some form of photo identification such as a passport, driving licence or Home Office ID and proof of current address. Please come and talk to or call the Manager on duty if you have any questions or concerns about registration.

You will need to bring in a print out of your current repeat medications. Please note also that we can arrange an interpreter if you have issues understanding and communicating in English.

You will be asked to complete a registration form called a GMS1.

Migrants

Many migrants will come from countries with very different health care systems to the UK.

It will almost certainly be helpful to explain to new patients how the NHS operates and explore with them how this compares to the healthcare system that they've been used to.

Named Accountable GP

We are required under our contract to allocate a named accountable GP for all patients.

However, you may still see whichever GP you prefer in the usual way. If you are not already aware of your named accountable GP, this information is available on repeat medication slips or by simply by requesting the information from the surgery.

Please do not hesitate to contact us iof you have any questions.

Accessible Information Standard

The Accessible information standard (AIS) is an NHS England information standard which must be implemented by all organisations that provide NHS or adult social care.

The AIS aims to ensure that people who have a disability, impairment or sensory loss receive information that they can access and understand - for example in large print, braile, professional communications support if they need it , such as a British Sign Language interpreter.

We want to get better at communicating with our patients. We want to make sure you can read and understand the information we send you. If you find it hard to read our letters or if you need someone to support you at appointments, please let us know:

If you need information in braille, large print or easy read. If you need a British Sign Language interpreter or advocate. If we can support you to lipread or use a hearing aid or communication tool

Please tell the receptionist when you arrive for your next appointment, or call us. This information will be recorded on your medical record in a standardised way and highlighted to ensure we have information on your communication needs.

This information may be shared with other NHS and adult social care providers if required.

If you require a specific method of communication, please inform the practice as soon as possible to ensure this information is recorded.

Temporary Residents

If you are staying in the Beverley area, we are happy to see you in our normal surgery appointments, either with doctors or nurses. You will be asked to complete a simple form, recording your own doctor as well as your permanent or temporary address. If you are staying more than 3 months, you should register as a permanent patient. A copy of our temporary resident form can be downloaded and printed from the link below.

Visitors from abroad are welcome. European and Commonwealth residents can expect full access to free NHS emergency care. Some countries do not have such arrangements with the NHS, and so patients can expect to be charged for consultations.

As a temporary patient, we will not have access to your medical records so will be restricted in what log-term care we can offer. This will be discussed with you at your appointment but is usually best left to your own doctor.

Armed Forces Veterans

We are an armed forces veteran-friendly accredited practice. If you have any issues relating to your service, please let is know at the time of booking your appointment or discuss with your clinician in confidence. If we have not previously been made aware of your service, please let is know so that we can update your records
