Register with our practice
The practice has an open policy for registration subject to its immediate and subsidiary boundaries.
If you live within our practice area you are welcome to register with us and our reception staff will be happy to guide you through the procedure. Eligibility can be quickly confirmed from your address.
As a guide we accept patients from Parkgate, Rawmarsh, Greasbrough, Swinton, Kilnhurst and Thorogate.
You will be requested to complete a PRF1 Form and be given an appointment for a new patient medical examination. Please bring a list of medications currently being taken, this is necessary before repeat prescriptions can be issued.
Only once you have attended for your new patient medical will you be registered onto the practice list.
