Register with our practice

We only accept patients who live in Swinton and the surrounding area. Once you have been accepted by the Practice you need to complete a registration form and return it to surgery along with a form of ID which can be one of the following:

passport
driving licence
birth certificate
utility bill (which must have current address on)

Patients are advised that they are registered with the Practice and you can see any GP of your preference.

When a patient registers with the practice they are given a “New Patient Pack” which will include a brief questionnaire to complete and are advised to make an appointment with a Practice Nurse for a short medical. This gives us a brief medical history and helps us until their records are received from their previous GP. The pack also includes all relevant information regards sharing of medical records and information about “Online Services”.

Catchment Area (Practice Boundary)

Named GP

As of 1 April 2015 all patients have a named GP who is responsible for their overall care at the practice. This does not prevent you from seeing any GP of your choice in the practice as you currently do now, if available. For details of your named GP please contact the surgery.

Accessing someone else's information

If you are managing the health of another, you can apply for proxy access. This provides access to the person’s online account for:

book and view appointments
order medication
access to medical records

Proxy access on behalf of children

People with parental responsibility for children have rights to access their children’s records. This is in most cases. Not all parents have parental responsibility. Proxy access for parent and guardian to a child’s record is a practice-level decision.

Proxy access on behalf of another adult

A person must request an account for online access at the practice where the person they are acting for is a patient. Proxy is the recommended alternative to sharing login details.
