Sharing your health record with Adult Community Health Services Information Leaflet 

RSCH Adult Community Services Sharing Agreement Opt Out form

You must provide THREE forms of identification . One document must include a photo proof of identification with date of birth and full name (passport or driving licence). You must then provide 2 more forms of identification which must include your name and current address such as utility bill or any other appropriate documentation. Both of these must be dated within the past 3 months.

It will take some time before your medical records arrive at the practice, it would be very helpful if you could provide us with your past and current medical conditions including any medications you may be taking. For regular repeat medications, you will need to book an appointment with a GP before we can issue your next prescription.

At registration you will be offered the GP who has availability to take on new patients at the time. If you prefer another GP your request will be taken into consideration however we cannot guarantee it.

Please note that urgent surgeries are on a rota basis and your registered GP will not always be available.

PLEASE NOTE: If you are not ordinarily resident in the UK you will need to fill out the appropriate section/s on the back of the GMS1 (purple) form.  You will need to record your non-UK European Health Insurance Card (EIHC), Provisional Replacement Certificate (PRC) or indicate if you are in possession of an S1 form. 

How we use your Health Records

As a Practice we need to ensure that our records are as up to date as possible and so there will be occasions whereby we wish to verify some of the details which we hold for you, this will be largely administrative such as checking that the contact details are up to date. Please see our dedicated leaflet for more information:

If you move outside our practice area, you will need to find a doctor in your new area. The Primary Care Support Service will help you if you experience any difficulty - Tel: 020 8335 1400.

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.

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.

Please note that if you are from a non-EU country, there may be a charge for the consultation and prescription if required.

Named GP

Everybody that registers with a GP Practice in England needs to have a named GP, who is largely responsible for the patient; NHS England states this will mean: "a named, accountable GP for all patients (including children) who will take lead responsibility for the co-ordination of all appropriate services required under the contract."

This of course does not include occurrences where another GP is seen-in this instance the GP that was seen is responsible for that treatment, but the Named GP will be made aware of the decisions made and any course of medications given. The Named GP will receive any documentation or letters from other healthcare facilities, such as hospitals, relating to the patient and will co-ordinate their overall treatment.

As part of the Detailed Care Record Practices need to ensure that their patients are aware of who their Named GP is, to ensure better continuity of care. This does not mean that you are obligated to see only this GP, merely that the GP in question will be overseeing your transition through Primary Care. 

When registering with the Practice, you will be allocated a Named GP and made aware of who this will be. Again, you will not be obligated to see this GP and are free to see any of our GPs during any treatment that you may receive. By and large we try to register families with the same GP to ensure continuity of care across its members, and it can also allow a familiarity to grow in a patient- doctor relationship.
