New Patient Registration

The Limes Medical Centre is accepting new patient registrations.

Medical practitioners no longer have an individual list of patients and you will be allocated to the practice not an individual GP. All medical records are fully computerised to ensure continuity of care.

Out of Area Registration

The Limes Medical Centre accepts patients living outside the practice’s catchment area however the patient would be registered without home visiting obligations as the practice has decided this is clinically appropriate and practical to register in this way.

Such patients are able to access all services provided by the practice, except home visits, immediately necessary and emergency treatment needed whilst they are away from and unable to attend the registered practice. Those patients will access URGENT primary medical care when at home through NHS 111.

Currently Registered Patients Moving Out of Area

Patients are accepted as an Out of Area Registration.

If you change any of your personal details such as address or telephone number please let the surgery know as soon as possible.

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 receive emergency treatment from the local GP practice for 14 days. After 14 days you will need to register as a temporary or permanent patient.

You can be registered as a temporary patient 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 patient or permanently register with that practice.

To register as a temporary patient simply contact the local practice you wish to use. 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.
