Instructions on what to do with the registration form

We also require proof of identity (passport/photo driving licence) and proof of address ( Utility Bill/rent Agreement etc)

The information on the medical card will speed up the process of getting your records from your previous practice. Once you have been accepted as a patient your medical records will be transferred to us and a new medical card will be sent to your home address. You do not need to inform your existing practice that you are moving, although it may be courteous to do so.
