New Patients


If you live within our practice catchment area we will require you, and each member of your family who wishes to register, to have an appointment with the Primary Health Care Assistant for a new patient health check. Once this is complete you will be required to fill in a Family Doctor Services Registration (GMS1 form) and you will then be fully registered with the practice.

You have the right to express a preference to receive services from a particular doctor/nurse, either for a general problem or particular condition. We will record your preference in your computerised medical record on the day your request was made.

At the time of registration you will be asked for details of your ethnic origin.


Our practice catchment area covers the South of Barrow and some surrounding rural villages

Please contact the surgery for the Catchment Area postal codes.


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.
