Arden House Medical Practice - Registration information for new patients

HOW TO REGISTER AS A PATIENT AT THIS PRACTICE.

If you wish to join our practice please ask the receptionist for a registration form for each person that wishes to join. The form will ask you for personal details such as your name, address, date of birth and your previous doctor’s name and address. This will assist in tracing your medical records as quickly as possible.

Once you have completed and signed the form you will be placed on Dr Powell’s list although you are free to see whichever doctor you wish. You will then be sent a new medical card with your doctor’s name on for you to keep. During the registration process the receptionist will make you n appointment with the practice nurse for a new patient check.
