Register at the Practice

Our practice covers a semi rural population including the villages of Albrighton, Pattingham, Badger, Beckbury, Tong, Tong Norton, Worfield, Chesterton and surrounding areas. A map is available on our website that shows detail of our  practice boundary. 

Anyone who lives within the practice boundary is allowed to register with the practice. Including the homeless and traveler communities. Patients wishing to register must attend the surgery and complete the appropriate form and present valid proof of address or in the case of a new born baby the form issued by the registrar of births and deaths. 

Once registered, should you move to a location that is outside the practice boundary you will be required to register with a new surgery. You will not be permitted to remain on our list of patients. 

It is the responsibility of the patient or the guardian of the patient to

inform the surgery should any changes take place that could affect their medical care. In particular address and telephone number changes, also changes from maiden to married names. 

Patients are registered with the practice and not individual doctors. It is fine to request an appointment with a particular doctor for continuity of care or patient choice. 

As patients we would request that you consider your own rights and responsibilities to the surgery especially with  regard to missing appointments.

If you are thinking of moving house please check our website/speak to reception to find out if your new address is in our area.  If your new   address is outside of our area you will need to register with a new GP practice.

Once registered, should you move to a location that is outside the practice boundary (see below) you will be required to register with a new doctor. You will not be permitted to remain on our list of patients. 

It is the responsibility of the patient or the guardian of the patient to inform the surgery should any changes take place that could affect their medical care. The main issue here is with address and telephone number changes, also change from maiden to married names. 

Patients are registered with the practice and not individual doctors. It is completely fine to request an appointment with a particular doctor for continuity of care, etc. in the majority of cases we will be able to provide this, however there are times when it cannot be guaranteed.

As a parent, family member or carer, you may be able to access services for someone else. We call this having proxy access. We can set this up for you if you are both registered with us.

To requests proxy access, please collect a proxy access form from reception from 9am to 5pm.

Linked profiles in your NHS account

From 1st April 2015, practices are required to allocate all patients (including children) with a named accountable GP.

The named GP is responsible for the coordination and delivery of all appropriate services, where required based on clinical judgement, to each of their patients.

• Patients do not need to see their named GP when they book an appointment with the practice.
• Patients are entitled to choose to see any GP or nurse in the practice.

You can see who your accountable GP is via the NHS app.
