Once registered, make an appointment with our nursing team for a registration medical ONLY if you have never been a patient in the country before. If you have transferred from a practice within the UK we will have access to your records and a new patient registration is not required.


SCR – SUMMARY CARE RECORD

When we process your online registration, your Summary Care Record (SCR) will be set to “Express consent for medication, allergies, adverse reactions and additional information.”

If you do not wish to have an SCR, please complete the SCR Patient Consent Preference Form and email it to the surgery @ admin.bedfordpark@nhs.net

If you are not registered with a doctor but need to see one, you can receive emergency treatment for 14 days. After 14 days you will need to register as a temporary or permanent patient.

To register as a temporary resident you will need to complete a Temporary Resident Form. Please return the completed form to the surgery.

You can register as a temporary resident with a GP in England if you are in the area for longer than 24 hours but less than three months.
