New Patient Registration

New Patient Registration from the December 2018

To ensure the quality and safety of services a temporary list closure is now in place until December 2019. Oxfordshire Clinical Commissioning Group (OCCG) are supportive of this measure due to extenuating circumstances around on-going problems with staffing, recruitment and having reached our physical capacity for the current workforce. We take great pride in being able to provide patient-centred healthcare and hope that we can continue to do so in the current climate of extremely challenging times for primary care. The Practice will be working very closely with OCCG to develop a sustainable plan for Cropredy Surgery going forward.

(Surgeries in Banbury are currently actively registering new patients, in addition to Fenny Compton & Shenington Surgery).

Exceptions

We will continue to accept registrations from people who meet the following criteria:-

• New babies born or adopted to registered patients.
• Young people who were previously registered who are returning from university.
• Existing patients who move within the 'outer boundary'.

If you would like to register at the surgery and are living within our boundary area, please come to the reception desk and ask for the registration forms. The forms ask for your name, address, NHS number (if you know it) and other information, such as, the name and address of your previous GP.

We will ask you for proof of identity, for example, a photocard driving licence or a passport and proof of your address such as a utility bill (gas, electricity, water or telephone bill but not a mobile telephone bill) or a council tax bill.

We also ask you to complete a health questionnaire and from that may ask you to come to the surgery for an appointment with the nurse. This will be to make sure that any tests or checks that you need are up to date.

Online Services

We offer our patients online appointment booking, repeat prescription requests and online records viewing through a system called Patient Access, (click here to read more).   You can ask to register for this service when you come to join the practice.

Change of Personal Records

If you move house, change your name or telephone number please remember to let us know so that we can contact you, if necessary. You may telephone 01295 758372, fax 01295 750435, email Cropredy.surgery@nhs.net or call in person to let us have your new details.

Guide to GP Services

The Royal College of General Practitioners has produced a useful guide for patients about the services on offer at GP Surgeries and how to access them.  You can download the guide below.

A Patient Guide to GP Services

These fact sheets have been written to explain the role of UK health services, the National Health Service (NHS), to newly-arrived individuals seeking asylum. They cover issues such as the role of GPs, their function as gatekeepers to the health services, how to register and how to access emergency services.

Special care has been taken to ensure that information is given in clear language, and the content and style has been tested with user groups. Open the leaflets in one of the following languages

Temporary Registration

If you are ill while away from home or if you are not registered with a doctor but need to see one you can receive emergency treatment from the local GP practice for 14 days. After 14 days you will need to register as a temporary or permanent patient.

You can be registered as a temporary patient for up to three months. This will allow you to be on the local practice list and still remain a patient of your permanent GP. After three months you will have to re-register as a temporary patient or permanently register with that practice.

To register as a temporary patient simply contact the local practice you wish to use. Practices do not have to accept you as a temporary patient although they do have an obligation to offer emergency treatment. You cannot register as a temporary patient at a practice in the town or area where you are already registered.

Online 'Pre-Registration' With The Practice

If you wish to pre-register click on the link below to open the form. When you have completed all of the details, click on the "Send" button to mail your form to us. When you visit the surgery for the first time you will be asked to sign the form to confirm that the details are correct.

Pre-registration Form

When you register you will also be asked to fill out a medical questionnaire. This is because it can take a considerable time for us to receive your medical records. There is an online version of this file too, which you may fill out and send to us. When you come to the surgery you will be asked to sign this form to confirm that the details are correct.

Online Medical Questionnaire For New Patients

Note that by sending the form you will be transmitting information about your self across the Internet and although every effort is made to keep this information secure, no guarantee can be offered in this respect.

Alternatively you may print off a registration form, fill it out and bring it in with you on your first visit to the practice.
