Registering your newborn baby
It is important that you register your baby with your GP, as a new family member, to access vital health services such as the GP infant 6-8 week check and the immunisation programme.
Catchment Area (Practice Boundary)
You can search for your postcode by clicking the magnifier in the top right corner of the map, this will indicate whether you live within the boundary or not.Named GP
Since March 2016 we have allocated every patient a named accountable GP and patients can ask to be informed who that allocated GP is.
We allocate every patients to one of the GP partners when registered on an equal shares basis – and if a patient wants to know who that doctor is we are happy to advise them on request.
It makes no practical difference as to who you see for treatment – nor does it mean you will only be spoken to or seen by that allocated doctor.
This named doctor will, where needed, oversee the co-ordination of all appropriate services required under the NHS contract and ensure they are delivered to each patient where required (based on the clinical judgement of that named doctor)
The named doctor will not take on vicarious liability for the work of other doctors or health professionals.
Nor will the named GP take on 24 hour responsibility for a patient or make a change to their working hours. The requirement does not imply personal availability – and the named doctor cannot be the only GP to care for that patient
This allocation of a named doctor – required by contract – does not remove a patients’ choice of who to see.
Accessing someone else's information
If you are a parent/carer and want to have online access for another person (for example a dependent child under age 15yrs or a spouse/partner etc who is unable to manage their own account) then please use the Proxy Access Request Form.
Please note that such a request will require authorisation from a senior manager/doctor before we give access to a parent/carer to the medical records of patients aged 15yrs and over.
In the case of Proxy Access we will need to see proof of ID/Address of both the proxy and the person whose record they wish to manage.
