How to Register

Check you live within the boundary area

To access our registration process, first check you are in our catchment area. If you have any questions about your eligibilty join this surgery please contact us.

We encourage online registrations but a paper registration form can also be obtained from the reception team.

If you move, but remain in our practice area we can continue to be your GP, please let reception know of your new contact details.

Your Named GP

River Place Group Practice provide all patients with a named "usual GP" who will have overall responsibility for the care and support that our surgery provides to them. We encourage patients to try and see their usual GP where possible, particularly for ongoing problems.  

We need to divide our patients evenly between all of our doctors, so they can manage their workload. Therefore the "registering GP" rotates from week to week based on each GP's list size. We try to keep families under the same usual GP where possible, so new babies will be registered with their mother's usual GP.

Your usual GP will look after your repeat prescriptions, medication reviews and will be forwarded any correspondence received from other services (including hospital clinic letters).

If you wish to be told the name of your usual GP, please ask the Care Navigator Team when you are next in the surgery.

If you have any questions, or wish to discuss this further with us, please contact the practice manager Dawn Gaine.
