New Patient Registration

We welcome new patients to the Practice and you can register with us using the link below or, if you prefer, by collecting a paper form from the surgery to complete.

To register as a patient with Montgomery-House Surgery – CLICK HERE

The link will check that your address is within our Patient Boundary Map and are eligible to register with us.

Once you have completed the registration you will need to come into the Practice with one proof of ID and one proof of address to complete your registration (Driving Licence, Passport, Utility bill etc). For children we will need a copy of their birth certificate or passport so we can verify their name and date of birth.

Please allow 5 working days for us to process your registration before making a routine appointment – if you have an urgent issue, then please contact us. We will register you for Patient Online Services, and you will be able to get your log on details from our team.

We ask all new eligible patients to attend for an NHS Health Check appointment to establish your current state of health, check your blood pressure and offer further services as appropriate. Once registered, we will call you to book an appointment.

If you have moved from another part of England or Wales, then your medical records will be electronically transferred to us along with any paper records.  Patients moving to us from outside of England or Wales are asked to obtain a paper copy of their medical records, which can then be saved to your new medical record.

 

Practice Area

You can register at the Practice if you live within our boundary. Please see our Practice Patient Boundary Map.

 

NHS Number

Your NHS Number allows us to transfer your medical records to Montgomery-House Surgery and means that we can see your full medical history and best support you.  You can find your NHS Number on any letter from your most recent GP, a hospital or on other documents relating to your health.  If you don’t have a letter, your old GP Practice will be able to confirm it.

 

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 a local GP practice for 14 days. After 14 days you will need to register as a temporary or permanent patient.

Summary Care Record

A Summary Care Record is an electronic record used nationally across England and is available to authorised healthcare professionals who care for you in urgent or emergency situations . This might be if you are ill when you are away from home or when your GP surgery is closed. It is based on your GP record and contains key information to support emergency care such as: medicines you take; any allergies you have; or any bad reactions you have had to medicines. This is now created automatically for you.  You can opt to include Additional Information, including significant medical history, medication, management of long term conditions, end of life care, immunisations and communication preferences (Sensitive information like fertility treatment STIs, pregnancy terminations etc are not automatically included unless you request them to be included). We recommend that you OPT IN to Additional Information being included in your SCR.  

The Oxfordshire Care Summary is similar, but contains additional information for healthcare providers you may have need to use in Oxfordshire (e.g. A&E, Out of Hours doctor, District Nurse etc). We recommend that you OPT IN to this.  

An information leaflet is available here for the Oxfordshire Care Summary
