Proof of ID / Address - Practice Policy 

This practice has a policy to check the identification and residency of all newly registered patients. This is recommended by the Department of Health and is designed to reduce NHS fraud.

As part of the registration process you will be asked to bring in both photographic identification and proof of address documents from the suggested list below.

This list is in order of preferred documents but as a last resort you may have other document types that we haven’t listed that may also be acceptable.

Please contact us if you have any questions about this policy

New Patient Medical Questionnaire
As part of your registration you will also be asked to fill out a new patient medical questionnaire. This is because it can take a considerable time for us to receive your medical records. If you click on the link below, this form can also be printed off and completed in advance of your first visit to the practice.
