Leigh View Medical Centre

HOW DO I...
REGISTER WITH THE PRACTICE?

When you request to join the practice list you will be asked for your permanent address details; provided you reside within the practice area you will be asked to complete a GMS1 form. This form will ask for your full name, permanent address details, place of birth, previous permanent address and your previous GP name/address. Please take time to make sure all these details are entered as this enables the practice to help the Health Authority trace your Lloyd George medical records.

The Health Authority no longer issues a medical card.

New Patient Health Checks

As a newly-registered patient you will be asked to complete a health questionnaire and attend for an appointment with the healthcare assistant.

Staying for a Short Time in the Area

If someone is staying with you for a short time and becomes ill, they can obtain medical care from the practice provided the address is still within the practice boundary. He/she will be asked to complete a temporary resident form.

Similarly, if you go on holiday in the United Kingdom and become ill whilst away from home, you can also register as a temporary patient at your holiday venue.

Students living away from home whilst attending college/university should register with a doctor in the area where they spend most of their time.

Change of Name / Address / Telephone Numbers

If you change your name, move house or change telephone numbers please let us have your correct details in writing as soon as possible.

Moving Outside the Practice Area

If you move outside the practice area you will need to register with a GP practice that is local to your new address. If you need help:

Please telephone:

Leeds/Wakefield Health Authority   0113 295 2500
Kirklees Health Authority   01484 466159
Leeds NHS   0113 305 7370
