How to register
Should you live within the surgery catchment area and wish to register with the Practice, a registration form and health questionnaire can be obtained directly from reception at our practice, or downloaded from here:
GMS1W Registration form
Please note both forms need to be completed fully before handing in to reception to complete the registration.
Our practice leaflet can be viewed or downloaded
What happens once my forms are handed in?
Your request to be included in the practice list will be processed by our team. We aim to get forms processed as quickly as possible, usually within a week.
We are electronically linked to the NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership (NWSSP) - once your details have been uploaded into our clinical system a link will be made to NWSSP. If you have previously been registered with a GP Practice in Wales your digital records will likely be transferred via this link (GP2GP) If you previous registration is outside of Wales this transfer is unlikely to happen electronically in the same way. We might get your notes sent by email via NWSSP but not always. We may have to wait for your paper records to arrive.
Paper Records
Paper records are still very much part and parcel of your medical care. When you leave a surgery they will print out your medical notes and letters and send them to NWSSP for forwarding onto your new surgery. Unfortunately the movement of paper records can be very slow, particularly in the case of the records coming in from the other Nations. We can wait several months for records to come into us. Records are moved around by the NHS Wales Health Courier Services, the same team who are also responsible for the transfer of samples between the surgery and the hospitals
Once we receive them they are reviewed by our clinical coder who reads, reviews and summarises them into your electronic records when needed.
If you didn't book a New Patient Check when you handed your forms in, we encourage you to do so.
Inclusive Health Care provided with compassion
If you have grown up in care, been in the justice system, experienced ACE's, PTSD, homelessness, domestic abuse or other experiences that mean you might find health care settings challenging or distressing, we offer a Trauma Informed Passport for you to complete.
