New Patient Registration

To register as a patient ask at reception or telephone for details. 

An application form can be downloaded and printed from here, however please contact the surgery before submission so we can allocate a time to review documentation.  

In line with current health service policy you will be asked to bring proof of residence when you attend the registration appointment. This can be a bank statement or a utility bill, NOT a mobile phone or credit card statement. Photographic ID will also be required. 

Newly registered patients will also be invited for a consultation with the healthcare assistant.  This will enable us to ask you about any past medical problems you may have.  Please bring any over the counter medicines you take to this consultation as well as a sample of urine.

Practice Area

The practice area covers all of the Cityside of the River Foyle, extending to the border and a 3 mile radius on the Waterside.

Inform the practice of any Changes to Your Details

It is really important to inform us of any changes to your name, address or telephone number. You can do this by:

• Post
• Telephone
• Email us - reception.Z00615@gp.hscni.net

We are particularly keen to have an up to date mobile number for you at all times and we will use this to send you text messages about appointments and results.  If you do not want us to do this, please let us know.

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 have up to 14 days to accept you as a temporary resident and do not have to accept you, 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.

Please contact the surgery  on 028 7126 5391 for more details.
