We are pleased to accept new patients from Bruton and the surrounding area.
You will be registered with a GP, though we operate as a Clinical Team. Requests for consultations are allocated by a Clinician and will be responded to by a member of the team appropriate to your needs. Many conditions and concerns can be successfully diagnosed and treated by our Nurse Practitioner or Enhanced Care Practitioner rather than a GP, which enables the GPs to focus on those patients whose care most benefits from their skills. We will endeavour to meet your request for your preferred clinician, but believe it is more important that you receive the right care for your need.
Every patient is registered with a named GP. This is to ensure that a GP has oversight of the care and co-ordination of all appropriate services for patients, though individual appointments or consultations may be with another member of the Clinical Team or Nursing Team. If you wish to know your own named GP, please ask when you next contact us or call us after 2pm.
When you register you will also be asked to answer some medical questions, this is because it can take a considerable amount of time for us to receive your medical records.
If you wish to submit your registration details online, please complete the form below. When you visit the surgery for the first time you will be asked to sign the form to confirm that the details are correct (a parent or legal guardian can sign for a child under 16 years of age). You will also need to provide your identification documents at your next visit to the surgery.
If you also have your Medical Card from your previous doctor, please bring this with you.
Everyone is welcome
You do not need a fixed address or proof of identification to register with a GP Practice.
We know this can be difficult if you are homeless, or left a harmful home quickly or are a refugee. GP practices are available to everyone.
