HOW TO REGISTER
Welcome to Nutwood Medical Practice
We are pleased to accept registration requests from patients who are living within the black line indicated on the map in the link below:
New Patient Registration
If you live within the practice boundary (see above map) you can either visit the practice and collect a registration pack or to speed things up please print out and complete the Registration Form and New Patient Questionnaire and bring them to the Practice. For those up to 16 years, please complete the Under 16 Questionnaire. Please bring photo identification and proof of your current address.
Please also read the Summary Care Record information and if you do not wish to have a Summary Care Record created you should complete and sign the opt out form and hand it in with your registration forms, otherwise a Summary Care Record will automatically be created for you. If you change your mind at a later date, please let us know and we can update our records.
Registering for Patient Access will enable you to order your repeat prescriptions online, access your medical record online and make and cancel appointments with our nurses and health care assistants. Find out more about Patient Access and if you would like to register for this service, please ask at Reception. Please note you can use Patient Access to book appointments with our practice nurses and health care assistants but not with our GPs. We encourage you to contact us online using AskmyGP for any problems that need a doctor's help.
Guide to GP Services
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. You can download the guide below.

Temporary residents
If you are registered elsewhere in the country but are in the local area and feel you need treatment by a Doctor, please contact the local triage number on 03000 247 247, you may be seen by our practice or by one of the other local surgeries.
If you need repeat medication please contact your usual GP practice and they will be able to send a prescription to one of the local pharmacies.
If you are ill while away from home you can receive treatment from the local GP practice for 14 days for a short stay, or for up to three months if you are staying in the area for longer. 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.
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.
