New Patient Registration

If you live within our practice area (North Hykeham, South Hykeham, Witham St Hughs, Thorpe on the Hill, Whisby, Eagle, Harby) then please visit our surgery and a receptionist will explain the registration process to you.

Registration forms and medical questionnaires are avialable to collect from the Practice.

Choice of Doctor

Patients are free to consult with any doctor in the practice but may express a preference when arranging an appointment. We respectfully remind patients that by requesting a specific doctor this may reduce the choice of appointment slots available.

Medical treatment is available from the date of registration. Please contact reception for further information.

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.

A Patient Guide to GP Services

They cover issues such as the role of GPs, their function as gatekeepers to the health services, how to register and how to access emergency services.

Temporary Registration

If you are ill while away from home or if you are not registered with a doctor but need to see one you can register as a temporary resident for up to three months. 

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 resident again or permanently register with the Practice.

To register as a temporary resident simply contact the local practice you wish to use. Practices do not have to accept you as a temporary resident although they do have an obligation to offer emergency treatment. You cannot register as a temporary resident at a practice in the town or area where you are already registered.
