New Patient Registration

If you live within our practice area you are welcome to register.  Our reception staff will be happy to guide you through the procedure. You will need to provide proof of address i.e. 2 utility bills less than 3 months old. 

You will need to complete a registration form (GMS1) and a health questionnaire which will provide useful information whilst we wait for your medical records to arrive from your previous doctor.

All new patients are offered a health check with a practice nurse which will include a blood pressure check and urine test. If you are on regular medication you will be required to make an appointment with a doctor.

Medical treatment is available from the date of registration. Please contact reception for further information.

We do also require 2 proofs of address (less than 3 months old) i.e. utility bill, mobile phone bill, bank statement, tenancy agreement (for students - we will accept a letter from a landlord/college). You can either provide this information by emailing barnardmedicalgroup@nhs.net or handing your paperwork to one of our receptionists who will take a copy. Please make sure you provide us with your proof of address within 7 days of completing your online registration.

All new patients will need to have a New Patient Check appointment with either our HCA or Practice Nurse please contact the surgery 48 hours after we have received all your relevant paperwork to make an appointment for this.

All paperwork should be completed in full to avoid any delay with your registration. If there is a problem we will contact you.

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.
