NATIONAL PATIENT SURVEY - RESULTS

Thank you to our patients who completed the national patient survey for Brannam Medical Centre. We have now received the results and would like to share these with you. Please click here to view the results.

MJOG

We use a messaging system called MJOG which allows us to contact our patients by text and voice message. We have been using this to invite our patients in for their seasonal flu vaccinations, chronic disease recalls and also for appointment reminders.

We would like to make our patients aware that if you receive a voice message starting 'This is a message from Brannam Medical Centre' it is a genuine message from us and please listen to the message all the way through and you will be able to respond.

If you do not wish to receive messages in this way, please contact the reception team.

New Patient Registration

Anyone in England can register with a GP surgery.

Patients living within the practice area are welcome to register and our reception staff can confirm your eligibility from your address.

You do not need proof of address or immigration status, ID or an NHS number.

You can register by:

  • completing the NHS registration form at reception.
  • print out the NHS Registration Form to complete at home and bring it in with you on your first visit to the practice. (During COVID restrictions, we would prefer if you could post, email or drop the form back to us)

Please click here to view a guide on filling out your registration form.

** If you are returning from University due to the Coronavirus and you need to see a GP due to illness you will need to fill out a temporary NHS registration form **

Medical Questionnaire

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.

You can print out the Patient Questionnaire to complete at home and bring in, together with the NHS registration form and ID, as mentioned above.

Medical treatment is available from the date of registration.

All new patients are offered a health check with a member of the healthcare team.

To open our Patient Handbook please click here.

You can access information on surgery opening hours, out of hours assistance, access to medical services, clinics, online services, practice staff and more. 

The handbook is printable.

Patient Choice of GP Practices

All GP practices in England are free to register new patients who live outside their practice boundary area. 

This means that you are able to register with practices in more convenient locations, such as a practice near your work or closer to your children’s schools. For more information please click here.
