PATIENT NOTICE - FOR INFORMATION ON STREP A AND SCARLET FEVER PLEASE SEE THE LATEST NEWS PAGE.

New Patient Registration

We welcome new patients who live in Tilbury and Grays postcode areas of RM16, RM17 and RM18 only.

If you wish to register with us you can do so during normal opening hours.

Come to the surgery and ask to complete a registration form. You should bring your NHS Registration Card (which will be returned to you). You should also bring some form of photo ID such as passport, driving licence or photo card, and to confirm your home address either a recent bank statement, utilities, rent or council rates bill.

When you first register you must make an appointment for a general check-up with our practice nurse or healthcare assistant, who will also complete your registration.

Named accountable GP: You will be assigned to a doctor who will be your "named Accountable GP" as required by the NHS, however, you can choose to be seen by any clinician as long as they are available.

You will be added to the practice list, not an individual doctor. You can ask to be seen by any of the doctors in the practice although it will not always be possible to see the doctor of your choice on a particular day and time.

Guide to GP Services

The Royal College of General Practitioners has produced a useful guide for patients about the services on offer at GP Surgeries and how to access them.  You can download the guide below.

Online 'Pre-Registration' With The Practice

If you wish to pre-register click on the link below to open the form. When you have completed all of the details, click on the "Send" button to mail your form to us. When you visit the surgery for the first time you will be asked to sign the form to confirm that the details are correct.

Please fill in both pre-registration form and Online Medical Questionnaire. 

Pre-registration Form

When you register you will also be asked to fill out a medical questionnaire. This is because it can take a considerable time for us to receive your medical records. There is an online version of this file too, which you may fill out and send to us. When you come to the surgery you will be asked to sign this form to confirm that the details are correct.

Online Medical Questionnaire For New Patients

Note that by sending the form you will be transmitting information about your self across the Internet and although every effort is made to keep this information secure, no guarantee can be offered in this respect.

Alternatively you may print off a registration form, fill it out and bring it in with you on your first visit to the practice.

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.
