New Patient Registration

stethescope The doctors welcome new patients who live within the Bracknell area.

As it often takes sometime for full paper records to be forwarded from your former practice all newly registered patients will be asked to complete a health questionnaire.

We participate in the GP2GP service so if your previous Doctor is also on GP2GP your electronic notes should be recieved within 48 hours and then you will be fully registered to see a Doctor.

You will need to come to the surgery to register with your photo ID and proof of address which is under 3 months old. Also if you are registering a child under 16 there is separate form to be completed and red book and birth certificate are needed for registration.

Your NHS number and previous Doctors details will speed up the registration process.

Please contact reception for further information.
