New Registrations

Please bring your old medical card to the surgery to register; purple registration froms are available at reception if you are unable to find your medical card. You can also save time at the surgery by downloading and completing the Family doctor services registration (GMS1) form. When registering with the Practice you will be asked to provide form of photographic ID (passport or drivers' license), and if possible a current utility bill or bank statement reflecting your address.

We ask all new patients to complete a short questionnaire.You can print copies of the registration form and questionnaire and complete them prior to coming to the surgery to register; they are also available at reception.

All new patients are given a named GP in writing at the time of registration. We will try to accommodate your preference for a GP but this may not always be possible

We offer all patients a “New Registration Check”. This can be carried out by the Practice Health Care Assistant or by the doctor during other consultations. This check is very important as it enables us to obtain details of your medical history, which includes medication and allergies.

If you move

If you move your address within the practice area or change your telephone number please let us know so that we can amend your records. If you leave our practice area you may need to register with a doctor in your new practice area. You can remain registered with us but we would be unable to carryout home visits (please  ask for details at reception). If you have outstanding hospital appointments it is also advisable that you contact that hospital to advise them of your new address.

Visitors to the Practice

If you are visiting the area and require immediate and necessary treatment, you will need to register as a temporary patient. Please contact us on 01404 548544 to arrange an appointment or telephone call with a GP and we will sort out the administration required.

Named accountable GP for all patients

The Honiton Surgery continues to run personal lists  and all patients are allocated a ‘usual GP’. All new patients are advised of their usual GP at registration and all other patients are advised opportunistically. If you are unsure of your usual GP please do ask when you next visit the surgery.
