How to Register with the Surgery
To register with Woodlands Surgery you need to fill out a
registration form with your details e.g. Name, Date of Birth, Your
Address, Telephone Number and details of the previous Doctor you
were registered with. You are invited to make an appointment with
one of our Practice Nurses for a New Patient Check should you wish
to do so. The receptionist registering you will ask if you have a
preference to be seen by a particular doctor. You do not have to
state any preference and are always able to make an appointment to
see any of the doctors working at the practice. If you want to
change your preference at any time you may do so by informing us
either in person or in writing.
If you have a medical card, please complete the change of address
section, not forgetting postcode and telephone number and bring it
along to reception.
If you are unable to find your medical card, you will need to
collect a registration form (GMS1) from reception or you can
download a copy by clicking on the link below. Please fill this
form in carefully, remembering to include all postcodes, telephone
numbers and date of birth.
Pdf)If you are only staying in our area for a short period of time (less than 3 months), then we will ask you to fill in a Temporary resident form (GMS3) which you can download by clicking on the link below. You will of course be treated by the Doctor in the usual way.
You have the right to express a preference to receive services from a particular clinician and we will record this preference. We will endeavour to do this, but please note this cannot be guaranteed.
