New Patient Registration

You may register by presenting your medical card, if you have one, at the reception desk. If you do not have a card you may register by completing the relevant form available from reception. The official NHS registration form now requests considerable detail. You will also require photo ID (driving licence or passport) and proof of address (utility bill or bank statement)

You will then need to make a new-patient appointment with the nurse to record basic medical details for your file. This is important if we are to look after your health needs to the best standard possible.

The Practice has the right to refuse your registration on reasonable grounds, eg if you live outside the Practice Area.

New patients are registered with the practice and not individual GPs. However, you have the right to express a preference for a particular practitioner, or class of practitioner, in general or for a particular condition when you make appointments. We will endeavour to meet such a preference where possible and reasonable.

Non-English Speakers

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.

Pre-registration with the practice

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

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. 

This questionnaire can be downloaded by clicking on the link below. Alternatively, you can collect one from reception.

Please bring the completed and signed form to your new patient health check with the nurse.

New Patient Health Questionnaire

Please note that completing the registration form does not guarantee that you will be registered as a patient with the practice. 

We will require proof that you are eligible for NHS treatment and that you live within our practice catchment area.

Practice area

Beauchamp House is centrally situated close to shops and bus-routes. Vehicle access is from Parkway, by the Salvation Army citadel, into a spur of the old Baddow Road. We have our own, ample, car park. We are immediately opposite the closest local dispensing Chemist, Shanty's. We currently accept patient registrations from the area bordered in orange.

Patients who move outside the practice boundary area could still be retained on our practice list at the discretion of the doctors. Please contact the practice if this affects you.
