Changes to registration during Covid-19 Pandemic

Due to the current COVID-19 pandemic, patients are asked to register without coming into the practice. To register you will need to complete our online registration form and our alcohol consumption self-assessment

 

New Patient Registration

You may still register with us if you live outside of our catchment area (the Hither Green Area) however please note that our doctors will not visit you at home. Please check with reception if you are not sure. You can download our registration documents below or pop in to the surgery and collect a form and accompanying documents. Before you are fully registered you will need to attend the surgery for a new patient health check.

 

Accountable / Named GP for All Patients

All patients registered at The Woodlands Health Centre have a named doctor who has overall responsibility for your care and support. If you choose to see another doctor at the surgery you are entirely free to go on doing so exactly as before.

We have a two-step process to registering all new patients with the surgery:

1. You will be asked to complete the family doctor services registration form which you can do online here.

Kindly attend the surgery with Photographic ID and Proof of Address which you are required to provide. Registration takes approximately 48hrs though this can be expedited in an emergency.

2. It is recommended that you call or attend the surgery within 48hrs of registration to get an appointment to see the Health Care Assistant or Practice Nurse for a New Patient Health Check. This can take between 10 and 30 minutes to complete.
