How Do I....
Register With The Practice?
Patients registering with the surgery will be asked to complete various
forms to enable us to ascertain details of your medical history. You will be
invited to make an appointment for a new patient medical with the practice nurse.
This is important as it enables us to record full details of your medical history,
take up-to-date blood pressure readings and discuss your general health with
you. You will be asked for a urine sample for testing as well as information
about any family history of illness and chronic conditions. Children under five
years of age do not need to have a medical but parents will be asked for details
of all immunisation dates. The doctors at Highview encourage all children to
have full immunisations.
All patients are registered with the practice rather than a particular doctor,
but if you would like to nominate a preferred GP please inform our reception
staff who will ensure that this information is included in your registration
details.
It is advisable for all patients to have a check-up with the doctor
at least once in every three-year period. If you would like to make an appointment
for a health check please make an appointment with the receptionist.
