New patient checks
The practice needs all newly registered patients to consult with one of the Partners or a practice nurse within the first three months of registering. Medical records can take some time to arrive at the practice therefore it is important for the practice to obtain as much medical information as possible about newly registered patients.
Patients who are on regular medication, attending the hospital for ongoing treatment, under the age of 5 years or over the age of 75 years, will need to consult with a doctor when registering with the practice.
