These fact sheets have been written to explain the role of UK health services, the National Health Service (NHS), to newly-arrived individuals seeking asylum. They cover issues such as the role of GPs, their function as gatekeepers to the health services, how to register and how to access emergency services.

Pre-registration with the practice

PreRegistration

If you wish to pre-register click on the link below to open the form. When you have completed all of the details, click on the "Send" button to mail your form to us. When you visit the surgery for the first time you will be asked to sign the form to confirm that the details are correct.

Pre-registration Form

When you register you will also be asked to fill out a medical questionnaire. This is because it can take a considerable time for us to receive your medical records. There is an online version of this file too, which you may fill out and send to us. When you come to the surgery you will be asked to sign this form to confirm that the details are correct.

Online medical questionnaire for new patients

Note that by sending the form you will be transmitting information about your self across the Internet and although every effort is made to keep this information secure, no guarantee can be offered in this respect.

Alternatively you may print off a registration form, fill it out and bring it in with you on your first visit to the practice.

Noticeboard

Practice Performance

We are pleased to announce that once again we have achieved maximum points in the 2012 Quality and Performance survey carried out independently by the PCT. We are one of only two surgeries in the Airedale region and one of only twelve in the whole district of sixty-six GP practices to have achieved this!

This year we are also achieved maximum performance in key prescribing indicators which assesses the efficiency of the doctor's prescribing.

And to complete the hat trick we also achieved maximum achievable Quality Outcomes points which covers the management of most of the major chronic conditions.

Thank you to all the staff and patients who helped us perform so well. We will keep up the good work. If you do have any suggestions as to how we could improve our service then please let us know, we are always happy to listen.

Automated Arrival

We now have an automated check in system. On arrival you can register yourself as arrived using the touch screen on the right before reception. When your appointment is due your name will appear on the large screen in the waiting room. If you would prefer to use the traditional method of speaking to a receptionist this is still available.

Baby Changing Facilities

A lot of our new mums and dads have asked us for better baby chaining facilities. We have listened to your comments and will be providing a baby changing area shortly for you and your new arrivals to use.
