Four Acre Health Centre 

You will be asked to complete a registration form for each person in your family registering at the Practice. All adults will be required to provide two forms of identification. In addition, all patients will be asked to complete a new patient questionnaire, allowing us to provide medical care in the interim period while your medical records are transferred from your old Practice to this one. You will be asked to undergo a new patient health check with our Health Care Assistant which consists of:

 

• Medication check – please bring medication list with you

• Blood pressure check

• Height

• Weight

• If Asthmatic, your peak flow reading

• Red Book for young children and babies

You may be asked some questions relating to your completed questionnaire, as well as the reason you left your last practice, this is something the local health authority has requested surgery’s ask.

 

In addition, you will be asked whether you want to opt out of the NHS Spine Record. This is a national system that allows doctors and nurses in hospital to access part of your health record which will assist them if you are admitted to Accident and Emergency.

 

If you move out of the Practice area you will need to register at a new Practice as soon as you move. We can provide information about how to find a new Practice.
