New Patient Registration

You may register with the practice if you live within our practice boundary. You will be asked to produce your medical card or alternatively, to fill in a form for each member of the family.

If you are a newly registered patient requesting repeat medication, you will first need an appointment with a doctor or the practice pharmacist. 

Medical treatment is available from the date of registration. Please contact reception for further information.

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

You must also bring in your NHS number and ID containing your full name and date of birth.

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

More useful information about registering with a GP can be found on the NHS Choices website.

Named Accountable GP

When registering at Lombard Medical Centre you will be allocated a named GP who will be responsible for your overall care while you at the practice. You can however request an appointment with a GP of your choice.

If you wish to find out who your named GP is then please ask at reception.

Practice Area

The red line on the map indicates the inner boundary. Our outer boundary is one mile outside the inner boundary. Consideration will only be given to those patients who are already registered with the practice and who move from the inner boundary to the outer boundary and wish to remain with the practice. All new patients must reside within the inner boundary.

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.
