Join us as a patient at St Martins Gate Surgery.

Register a New Patient

The practice provides personal medical services to patients who live within an agreed geographical area determined by the practice.

If you live within our area you can ask to be registered with the practice and, providing the practice list is not closed, you may be registered as a patient with the practice.

To check if your postcode falls within our catchment area, please use the postcode checker at the bottom of the map.

The practice will accept new patient registrations for those residents with a WR5 post code (excluding Kempsey & Littleworth). For clarification the practice will continue to register patients from the development on the former Norton Barracks site.

The practice will also accept new patient registrations from residents who live within a one kilometre area of Crowle Village School and also residents of the village of Broughton Hackett.

The practice will continue to accept new patients from Norton Hall Nursing Home which is just outside this area to maintain the agreement and commitment of the practice to Norton Hall Nursing Home.

All new patients registering with the practice will be requested to complete a medical questionnaire and registration form. 

Temporary residents.

If you are not registered with a GP but need to see one, you can get emergency treatment at any GP Practice.

If you need treatment for more than 14 days, you will need to register with that GP Practice as a temporary or permanent patient.

You can register as a temporary resident if you plan to live near the GP Practice for up to 3 months. After 3 months you will have to apply to register with that Practice as a permanent resident.

You can register temporarily with a GP Practice while away from home for work, study or on holiday. You’ll remain registered with your permanent GP Practice.

What information do I need?

Try to have the following information with you when you see a temporary GP for the first time:

  • details of any medical conditions you have

  • details of medical conditions you’ve had in the past

  • the name of any medicines you’re currently taking

  • details of anything you’re allergic to

  • contact details for your permanent or previous GP surgery

  • your NHS number

Your Named GP.

 

Every patient has a named GP. This doctor has an important role to play in your healthcare. Some patients will already be aware of their named GP but if you would like to know, please just ask at reception or the next time that you call us.

Very little will change with your direct care. Your Named GP does NOT have to be the doctor you see most recently, and you should continue to book appointments as usual.

The Named GP is designed to reassure patients there is a doctor to provide an oversight into your care. The responsibilities of your named GP will be to:

  • Take the lead responsibility for ensuring that the surgery provides all the appropriate services you need

  • Ensure health and social care professionals deliver a care package that meets your needs.

  • Ensure your physical and psychological needs are recognised and responded to by the relevant clinicians in the practice

  • Ensure you have access to a health check if requested.

 It does NOT mean the named GP:

  • Takes responsibility for the work of other doctors or health professionals. If you have concerns, you must raise it with them in the first instance.

  • Is available other than at their normal working hours

  • Is personally available throughout the working week

  • Be the only GP or clinician who will provide care to you

It does NOT mean that you can insist on appointment with your named GP unless one is available in the normal way.

You must continue to book appointments with the practice in the same way. If you require an appointment with a GP urgently and are unable to book it with your ‘named GP’ please book in with another available doctor.
