Practice boundaries
We will register anyone living within our practice boundary. For a map of the practice boundaries click here. As no-one is automatically registered with a surgery, it is important that both you and all members of your household register at the same time.
We recognise the important role of carers in looking after dependent relatives; please make it known if you are caring for someone.
Continuity of care
When you register we will confirm with you which of our three surgeries you will attend.
We will let you know who will be your usual doctor, and, for continuity of care, we would encourage you to consult the same doctor as far as possible.
Your first appointment
When you register with the practice you will be asked to complete a health questionnaire (one for each member of your household), and you will also need to come to a ‘new patient appointment’ with a nurse or healthcare assistant. This 10-minute appointment completes your registration and introduces you to the practice. This is an excellent opportunity to have a routine health check and will also provide the surgery with some details of your medical background.
Changing your details
If you move, or if you change your telephone number, or if you change your name, please inform us as soon as possible. If you move outside the practice boundary, the Thames Valley Primary Care Agency (Telephone 0118 918 3333) will be pleased to give you details of surgeries in your new area.
