New Patient Registration

If you live in the practice area and wish to register with the surgery, please call in at reception to pick up the necessary forms. For guidance, the area includes Lepton, some parts of Grange Moor and Highburton, Fenay Bridge, Lascelles Hall, Kirkheaton, Gawthorpe Green, Houses Hill, Upper Hopton and Upper Heaton. If you are in any doubt please contact the surgery to check you are within our catchment area.

Patients are registered with the practice and not an individual GP but you can at any time express a preference for a  particular doctor and we will do our best to respect your choice.

Non-urgent advice: Please note

Not all the doctors in the practice provide all services and specific doctors may not be immediately available.

Medical treatment is available from the date of registration. Please contact reception for further information.


Registrations Forms

In order to register please come to the surgery to pick up the relevant forms. You will be asked to fill out a medical questionnaire. It will greatly speed up the registration process if you could return the completed forms to the surgery at your earliest convenience and prior to making an appointment.

Important – If you require access to online services, please ensure you provide photographic identification when registering at the surgery.

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.
