Registration in Person

You can register by completing a registration form which can be downloaded below or obtained from the practice. Please bring the completed form along to reception with your medical record if you have it.

When you register, we will ask you to make an appointment to see the healthcare assistant for a new patient health check. This will make sure that our records are accurate and all routine checks, to promote your health and well-being, are up-to-date. Please ensure that you attend such appointments.

Named accountable GP for all patients

The practice is required to allocate all new and existing registered patients a named and accountable GP at Palfrey Health Centre.

Individual patients will be informed of their named accountable GP at the earliest available opportunity.

All patients over 75 years of age have been nominated Dr S Siddiq as their GP.

All patients under 75 years of age have been nominated Dr A Ahmed as their GP.

Where patient’s express a preference as to which GP they have been assigned, the practice will make reasonable efforts to accommodate this request.

Having a named GP does not prevent you from seeing any other doctor at the practice. Your named GP will not be available at all times, and if your needs are urgent, you may instead discuss them with an alternate GP.
