How do I register?

1.      Complete a Patient Questionnaire (one is enclosed in the pack – please ask for further copies) for every member of the family who wishes to register.

2.      If you do not have a medical card for every member of the family complete a purple GMS1 form (once enclosed – please ask for further copies) for each individual without a medical card.

3.      If you wish to opt out of Summary Care Record (SCR), please request an opt-out form from reception. You can find more information about SCR on our website: http://www.eskdaillmedical.co.uk/medicalrecords.html

You will be asked to provide relevant information about your health background.
