New Patients
Register as New Patient
To register as a new patient you will need to complete a registration form which can be obtained from the receptionist. You then need an appointment with the practice nurse for a new patient check. This is to enquire about your family history, any medication you take and any other problems we should be aware of. Please note without this appointment you will not be accepted onto our list.
The catchment area for the practice is LS10 as our inner boundary and LS11 as our outer boundary.
If you would like to register with us, please ask at reception to check if your address is within our catchment area.
Change of Name/Address/Telephone Numbers
If you change your name, move house or change telephone numbers, please let us have your correct details in writing as soon as possible.
Temporary Patient Registrations
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.
