New Patient Registration

We have an open list and welcome requests for registration from patients living in or moving to our practice area.

Our practice area covers York to the west and south of the River Ouse, in particular, Acomb.  We also cover Upper and Nether Poppleton, Knapton, Rufforth, Askham Bryan, Askham Richard, Bilborough, Appleton Roebuck, Acaster Malbis, Bishopthorpe, Colton, Copmanthorpe and Clifton Moor.

You can register by completing a registration form available from reception, which you will need to sign. You will also be asked to complete a questionnaire, which will provide us with some information about your medical history.

We recommend that new patients undertake a health check with a Practice Nurse.

You now register with a practice rather than with a GP.  When making an appointment you can request to see any of our GPs or nurses dependent upon their availability.

Change of Address

If you change name, address or telephone number, please let our receptionists know  as soon as possible by calling or writing to us. 

If you move outside the practice area you may need to find a doctor in your new area. There are instructions on what to do when you move to a new area on the back of your NHS medical card.

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.

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.
