Registering

We welcome new patients. To register at Orchid House Surgery, please complete the questions below or call in at reception to collect a registration form. When this is complete please visit the surgery with photographic identification and proof of your address.

Everyone has the right to register with a GP regardless of immigration or housing status, so if you have difficulty providing the identity documents please just let us know.

We do not discriminate on the grounds of race, gender, social class, age, religion, sexual orientation or appearance, disability, medical condition or on the perceived cost or extent of any work a patient is likely to generate by virtue of their clinical condition.

Patients are registered with the practice and not an individual GP. Therefore, after registration, you may see any of our doctors. You are still able to book with your preferred GP, but there may be a longer wait.

We offer a daily triage telephone consultation with the duty doctor. The receptionist will take your telephone contact details and the doctor will ring you back to discuss the nature of your problem. If he/she needs to see you in surgery then you will be given a time to come in and see them that day.
