Welcome to Ashby Turn Primary Care Centre

New Patient Registration

Ashby Turn Primary Care Centre does not discriminate against patients on the grounds of race, gender, social class, age, religion, sexual orientation or appearance, disability or medical condition.

As part of the process of registration at this surgery we require you to complete the following documents:

• Registration form, available from reception OR Print Here
• New patient registeration -  Adult / Children
• Proof of identity - this should be either your old NHS medical card which shows your NHS Number if this is not available please contact your previous GP to obtain it. If you have no NHS number, please supply a Passport, Driving Licence or a recent Utility Bill which shows your address. Bank cards will not be accepted.
• Counterfoil of your repeat prescription as given by your previous GP

On completion of these forms you may need an appointment with the health care assistant for a new patient health check.

If you require an urgent prescription, please note that we require 48 hours after your New Registration Appointment, in order to provide this safely.

Temporary Registration

Registration form; available from reception or Print Here

If you are ill while away from home or if you are not registered with a doctor but need to see one. You can register at a local practice as a temporary resident for either 15 days or 3 months. This will allow you to be on the local practice list and still remain a patient of your permanent GP. After three months you will have to re-register as a temporary patient or permanently register with that practice.

To register as a temporary patient simply contact the local practice you wish to use. Practices do not have to accept you as a temporary patient although they do have an obligation to offer emergency treatment. You cannot register as a temporary patient at a practice in the town or area where you are already registered.

If you move outside of our practice boundary but feel that it would be more beneficial for you to stay registered here - due to working in the area for example - you can now apply for an 'Out of Area' registration status.

Due to living outside of the catchment area, patients with an 'Out of Area' registration will not be eligible for home visits. In these instances, patients would have to contact 111 who will be able to advise of an alternative service.

Patients who wish to apply for an 'Out of Area' registration status, should update their address with the reception staff and ask for an Out of Area registration form. Applications will be discussed by the Partners in order to assess whether it is clinically appropriate for a patient to have this status.

Applications may be reviewed, on clinical grounds at any time to ensure that patients receive the most appropriate care.
