New Patients

Quote / Testimonial:
The doctors welcome new patients who live within our practice area. If you move out of the practice area you may need to register with another practice.

All new patients are invited to make an appointment to have a health check with our practice nurse.

To register with us, please check you live within our catchment area; you can do this using the map below.

Catchment Area

All patients at Lucie Wedgwood Surgery have a named accountable doctor who is responsible for your care.

Your named doctor will be allocated to you by the practice. You can still talk to or make appointments to see any of our doctors or nurses, not just your named GP.

If you have a preference and would like to request a particular doctor at the practice to be your named GP please talk to one of our receptionists.

Temporary Patient Registrations

You can register temporarily with a GP surgery while away from home for work, study or on holiday. You’ll remain registered with your permanent GP surgery.

Registering with a GP as a temporary resident – NHS – NHS (www.nhs.uk)

Details of any treatment you have will be passed  to your permanent GP surgery. They will add the information to your medical records.

Overseas Visitors

Those who visit the UK from overseas must pay for their care when they are in England.

In 2015 changes were made to how the NHS charges overseas visitors for healthcare so the NHS does not lose out on income for the services these patients have received.

Find Your NHS Number

Sometimes when filling in online forms or speaking with our staff, you may be asked for your NHS number.

This online tool will help you find your number if you do not know it.

Please Note

You do not need to know your NHS number to use NHS services, but it can be useful to have it.

Other ways to get your NHS number

If you cannot get your NHS number online you can:

  • find it on any letter from the NHS like a prescription or appointment letter
  • call your GP surgery and ask them for your number
