Registration

Who can register?

To register at the surgery you will need to live in the practice area. This includes

• Twyford
• Ruscombe
• Charvil
• Hurst
• Waltham St. Lawrence
• Winnersh (but not usually south of the M4 and not beyond the A329. Winnersh has 2 separate surgeries covering the area.)

Knowl Hill and Wargrave patients can be accepted but are covered by Wargrave Surgery.

We also accept patients living in Sonning as the village has no surgery, however Loddon Vale Practice is nearer.

How to Register

If you have a medical card please bring it to reception or complete a Form GMS1 which can be obtained from reception. If you are in any doubt please speak to a receptionist. It is better to register the whole household. No discrimination will be made in regard to race, gender, social class, age, religion, sexual orientation, appearance or on grounds of disability or medical condition.

New Patients

All new patients over the age of 5 years are offered a new patient appointment with our nursing team, as it can take about 6 weeks for your medical records to reach us. This short appointment provides us with valuable information on your health and needs. It can also pick up high blood pressure and other medical conditions which can be treated to prevent later complications.

Children under the age of 5 years are put in touch with the health visitor.

Non-registered patients

If you know that someone in your household or a neighbour who is not registered with a local doctor, please encourage them to do so. If a person lives in the area for more than 3 months they should fully register with the practice, even if they have no immediate need for medical care. Visitors staying for less than 3 months can register as temporary residents if they need medical care whilst they are in the area.
