The practice welcomes new patients in our catchment area which includes the whole of Verwood and the surrounding areas of Gotham, Burrows Farm, Woodlands, Dewlands Common, Noon Hill, Ebblake, Potterne & Three Legged Cross, with the exception of Ringwood and Horton Roads.

Before completing a registration form, please check you are in our catchment area using the Check Postcode box above our Practice Boundary map. Should you fall outside our catchment area, may we suggest you find out which GPs you can register with on the NHS website.

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

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

When registering, patients are asked to complete a questionnaire 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.

Your Summary Care Record, used nationally across England, will contain important information about any medicines you are taking, allergies you suffer from and any bad reactions to medicines that you have had.

Giving healthcare staff access to this information can prevent mistakes being made when caring for you in an emergency or when your GP practice is closed.

Your Summary Care Record will also include your name, address, date of birth and your unique NHS Number to help identify you correctly.

You may want to add other details about your care to your Summary Care Record. This will only happen if you ask for the information to be included. You should discuss your wishes with the healthcare staff treating you.

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.

We welcome temporary residents. Applications for temporary registration, for up the three months, will be subject to the patient being registered at an address within the practice catchment area.

Please download and complete our Temporary Registration form>> and bring it to the surgery with a form of identification. 

Once registered you will then be entitled to our full range of services.

From 1st April 2015, practices are required to allocate all patients (including children) with a named accountable GP.

The named GP is responsible for the coordination and delivery of all appropriate services, where required based on clinical judgement, to each of their patients.

• Patients do not need to see their named GP when they book an appointment with the practice.
• Patients are entitled to choose to see any GP or nurse in the practice.

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.
