All our local GP surgeries have 'open lists', so patients can approach surgeries, near to where they live, directly to apply to join them. Practices can refuse to accept patients, but they must have reasonable grounds to do so, and can be asked to give these reasons in writing.
If you require a list of nearby surgeries, or require help and advice in registering with a family doctor, then a member of the Primary Care Development Team would be happy to assist you;
Primary Care Development Team
- Chris Clarke, Telephone: 0300 3000 445
If you have any general queries regarding local primary care services, our patient advice and liaison service would also be happy to assist, call 0300 3000 500.
You can also search for local services online via http://www.nhs.uk or speak to NHS Direct on 0845 4647.
