Other Ways to Register

If you do not wish to Register Online you can download and complete the following form:

When you have completed the form visit reception in person with it.

Register your New Baby

You need to register your new baby at the practice as soon as possible. Therefore please complete a Register with a GP Surgery (PRF1) form and send it to your surgery. Please ensure you provide your baby’s NHS Number which will be detailed in their Red Book. Once we have received the form we will register your baby as a patient at this Practice.

The Practice will send you an appointment for a mother and baby post-natal check. This is a 50 minute appointment, 30 minutes for the baby check and 20 minutes for the post natal. Your baby’s course of routine immunisations will start at 8 weeks and will be given at this appointment. Please remember to bring the red book. If you cannot make this appointment you must notify patient services as soon as possible. Please be advised that if you do need to cancel, the next available appointment may be anything up to 4 weeks after that date.

Temporary Residents

The Doctors are happy to see patients who are temporarily resident in the Practice area should medical advice be required. In this instance persons wishing to be treated should state that they are a temporary resident when reporting to reception.

To register you will need to bring your passport plus download and complete a Temporary Resident Registration form (or ask Patient Services for a paper copy).

How to Find Your NHS Number

An NHS number is a 10 digit number, like 485 777 3456.

Your NHS number is unique to you. It helps healthcare staff and service providers identify you correctly and match your details to your health records.

See How to find your NHS number on the NHS website for further information.

New Registrations Health Check

A member of our Reception Team will make you an appointment with our Health Care Assistant who will ask you one or two details about your past health and present life style.

This will benefit both the practice and yourself as it can take some time for your notes to be received from your former GP. We try to book these appointments when our Practice Pharmacist is also available. This way, if you are on repeat medication, this can all be sorted at the same time.

Accountable Named GP for All Patients

All patients registered at Brereton Surgery have a named doctor who has overall responsibility for your care and support. Your registered GP is also your named accountable and your allocated GP. Your allocated GP will be responsible for the provision of your healthcare. This does not mean you can only see this GP.  If you choose to see another doctor at the surgery you are entirely free to go on doing so exactly as before.

Your accountable named GP will be Dr N Davies or Dr S Gunda. If you are unsure of who is your named Doctor please ask at reception.

New patients are allocated a Doctor on Registration.
