Who can register at Cherrymead surgery?
We are happy to register patients who live within our Practice area. Please e-mail us using the "contact us" link, giving your full postal address. Or download our Printable Registration Form, print and complete this and bring it into the surgery.
If you reside in our area, we will send you a registration form and New patient Questionnaire for you to download and post back to us. Alternatively you can call into the surgery and complete the form if you prefer.
If you are living in the practice area for 3 months or less we can register you as a temporary patient.
If you move outside of the area permanently, we will continue to offer you healthcare for 28 days while you find another surgery to register with. After that you must register with a surgery nearer your home.
Ask the Practice Manager for a copy of our practice’s practice leaflet. It explains how the surgery works and provides lots of other useful information.
Why are patients sometimes removed from your list?
Sometimes we do have to inform patients that we cannot continue to offer them health services. We follow the recommended guidance from the Royal College of General Practitioners about when it is reasonable to do this. Occasionally the doctor-patient relationship breaks down, and if this happens we would not be able to offer you the best care. In these circumstances we would inform you that we wished to remove you from the list.
Breakdown of the relationship of trust might occur because of:
- Verbal abuse of any practice staff
- Threats to any staff or other patients
- Racist abuse
- Dishonesty about use of medication
What will happen if you need to remove someone from the list?
We would always consider first whether any aspect of the running of the practice is contributing to the problem and see whether we could introduce a solution that might help.
We will always inform the patient by letter to explain why we feel removal from the list is the best course of action.
No patient will be left without a GP – To find a new doctor you simply apply to register with the new doctor of your choice. If you are unable to find a practice who can take you on their list, Bucks PCT 01494 552200 will assist in finding another practice.
