We have an open list and welcome requests for registration from patients living in or moving to the practice area.
You can register in several different ways:
Online
By using the online “Register with a GP” service.
*Please note that registering with the Abbey Meads Medical Practice using the above link will also cover registering with Penhill Surgery if you wish to do so.
Visiting the practice
Pick up and complete a form available from reception.
Registering a new born
If you are registering a new born child please download and complete a registration form. The Practice will send you an appointment for a mother and baby postnatal check. This is a 50 minute appointment, 30 minutes for the baby check and 20 minutes for the postnatal. Your baby’s course of routine immunisations will start at 8 weeks and will be given at this appointment. Please ensure you bring the red book.
Named accountable GP
You will have a named, accountable doctor who is responsible for coordinating your care. You can still talk to or make appointments to see any of our doctors or nurses, not just your named GP.
We recommend that new patients undertake a health check with a practice nurse.
Temporary patients
If you are not registered with the surgery you will be unable to see one of our doctors unless you have a serious emergency. In most other cases, calling 111 is a better option.
If you are not registered but need treatment at the surgery you will need to complete a temporary registration form.
You can be registered as a temporary patient for up to three months. This means you can be registered with our practice and remain a patient of your permanent GP. After three months you will have to re-register as a temporary patient or permanently register with our practice.
