Acceptance on to the list is as at the discretion of the GP. We will ask you for proof of identity. Once you have been accepted as a patient, your medical records will be transferred to the Practice.  Your medical records may take several weeks to arrive at the Practice. 

You may be invited to the practice for a new patient check-up/assessment.

In the rare event of a patient being violent or abusive, the patient will be removed from the practice list. The patient will be informed of the reason for removal in writing and the Health Board will be informed.
