We have an open list and welcome requests for registration from patients living in or moving to the Practice area which serves West Moors, Three Legged Cross and areas in Ferndown. 

Please use our post code checker to confirm your address falls inside our catchment area.

You can register quickly and easily online.  Please scroll down to access our online New Patient Registration Form.  

Alternatively you can obtain paper forms to complete from our Reception team.

When registering, patients are asked to complete questions to bring the GP up to date with their current state of health. For families with children we emphasise the particular importance of recording immunisations and vaccination history of children.

When you register, it’s helpful to have your NHS number. If you don't know what it is, you can use the NHS website to find your NHS number.

Medical treatment is available from the date of registration.

In addition to the information provided on the new patient registration form, our Practice requests a bit of additional information, including your consent to share information.  This helps health and care services provide you with the most personalised and effective treatment, ensuring the best possible outcomes for your health and wellbeing.

To provide you with the best quality care possible, we must keep health records about you.  These contain information about the treatment and support you receive which is recorded by the professionals who have been involved in your care.

Our main computer system is called SystmOne, which has the advantage of enabling information to be shared between certain health professionals.

Your electronic health record contains lots of information about you, including your medical history, the types of medication you take, any allergies you have and demographic information like your home address and your next of kin. In many cases, particularly for patients with complex conditions, the shared record plays a vital role in delivering the best care. Health and social care professionals can ensure a coordinated care response, taking into account all aspects of a person’s physical and mental health.

You have choices about whether or not information is available to other providers who care for you.

Care Service that could access patients records:

• GP Surgeries
• Community Services such as District Nurses, Rehabilitation Centres
• Child health services
• Urgent care organisations such as Minor Injury Units and Out of Hours Services
• Community Hospitals
• Accident and Emergency Departments

To provide the best care, your electronic health record will be made available to other services involved in
your care. Until you are registered at one of the care services, no information about you will be shared to them.

For more information please download and view this Electronic Record patient leaflet>>

When registering with a GP, you will need to decide the ways in which this information may be used and who we may share this information with to help care for you. 

We request that you read our Patient Information Leaflet on Summary Care Record Sharing and SystmOne Record Sharing>>

If you have registered with us online, you will have already agreed to or opted out of sharing a Summary Care Record. However we also require your formal consent to share your data on SystmOne for your direct care. 

After reading the information in the leaflet, please scroll down and complete the online Consent to Sharing Data on SystmOne form.

Alternatively, if you prefer to complete a paper form, please ask at Reception. 

Further information on the SCR can be viewed at:  https://www.digital.nhs.uk/summary-care-records.

Further information about SystmOnline and these sharing controls, can be viewed at:  https://systmonline.tpp-uk.com/2/help/help.html.

Please remember to update your contact details with us when you change your address, mobile or landline telephone number or email address.  Doing so will ensure we can contact you as quickly as possible when required.

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.

These fact sheets have been written to explain the role of UK health services, the National Health Service (NHS), to newly-arrived individuals seeking asylum. They cover issues such as the role of GPs, their function as gatekeepers to the health services, how to register and how to access emergency services.

Special care has been taken to ensure that information is given in clear language, and the content and style has been tested with user groups.
