St Julians Medical Centre - Information for new patients wishing to join the doctors surgery

New Patient Registration

Patients wishing to register at the practice are required to collect and complete two forms available at reception.

Form 1 is a registration form.

Form 2 is for you to provide any relevant medical history our general practitioners may need until your medical records are received from your previous general practitioner.

We require proof of your present address, e.g. a current utility bill at the time of registration, and if you are newly arrived in this country we will also require proof of identification, i.e. your passport or visa.

Once these forms are completed and returned, you will be asked to contact the surgery within 48 hours to check on your acceptance. If you are successful, you will need to arrange an appointment for a New Patient Check to be carried out with one of our practice nurses.

It is also important that we are provided with your current contact number.

You may print off a registration form, fill it out and bring it in with you on your first visit to the practice.

Please note we do not accept postal registration forms, they have to be brought into the surgery together with a form of photo ID.

Introducing you to the Digital Services for Patients and the Public (DSPP)

NHS Wales is transforming health and care for patients and the public in Wales through the creation of new online health services. The Digital Services for Patients and the Public (DSPP) programme, set up by Welsh Government and run by Digital Health and Care Wales is responsible for the delivery of the NHS Wales App and other Digital services.

DSPP will also be responsible for the development of the NHS Wales App giving patients, carers and the public access to their health and care information and letting people share information with health and care professionals and others of their choosing. DSPP will feature a range of tools and technology that hospitals, GP surgeries and other care settings in Wales can use to innovate and deliver their own digital health services.

Our vision for patients and public in Wales is to help people in Wales to empower them to be responsible for their health and wellbeing and give them access to health and care services and support health and care providers to deliver joined-up health and care.

We want patients and the public to be able to:

Personalise their health journey
Monitor health conditions more easily share and receive important health information
Take an active part in their own health and wellbeing
Plan for and take control of their health and care journey
Stay healthy for longer

Before you start, you will need your own individual email address, as your email address acts as your unique identifier for pairing your NHS login account to the NHS Wales App, and a phone number.
A 6-digit security code will be sent to your email. You will be asked to enter this code to verify your email address and continue.
Next, you will be asked to give your mobile phone number. Another 6-digit security code will be sent by text message to your mobile phone. A security code will be sent to your mobile phone every time you log in, unless you select "remember this device and stop sending security codes".
The NHS account and login are not managed by the NHS Wales App.
As the service is available across the UK, it is not currently available in Welsh.

Benefits to your GP practice include the following:

The App supports time-critical activities for staff. It frees up time previously spent at reception
to book appointments and taking repeat prescription orders over the phone.
It provides an easier and more convenient access for patients to practice services, at a time that suits them.
It improves patient care through better use of Digital Solution

These fact sheets have been written to explain the role of UK health services, the National Health Service (NHS), to newly-arrived individuals seeking asylum. They cover issues such as the role of GPs, their function as gatekeepers to the health services, how to register and how to access emergency services.

Temporary Registration

If you are ill while away from home or if you are not registered with a doctor but need to see one you can receive emergency treatment from the local GP practice for 14 days. After 14 days you will need to register as a permanent patient.

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.
