All cases will be dealt with on an individual basis, by the practice manager and your named doctor.

Book a New Patient Health Check
Once the registration process is complete you will receive a confirmation text from the registration department.
All new patients with a chronic disease are offered a health check with a member of the healthcare team to ensure that any required tests are up to date and that we have an accurate note of any repeat medication you may be taking.
Visit our appointments page to find out how to book your new patient health check
Temporary Services
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 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.
Your Named GP
You may be aware that all practices are required to provide all their patients with a named GP who will have overall responsibility for the care and support that their surgery provides to them. All patients registered at Stanford Medical Centre already have a named GP though this may not be the GP that you regularly see, or have ever seen.
Your named GP will have overall responsibility for the care and support that we provide to you. This does not prevent you from seeing any GP in the practice but it is important to maintain continuity of care by seeing the same doctor wherever possible.
You do not need to take any further action, but if you have any questions, or wish to discuss this further with us, please contact us at the above numbers or email us via our secure online form
Please note that our GP's may have to work at other branches to cover sickness, annual leave and branch closures
Registering your new born
We understand that becoming a new parent is a precious and busy time, whether you are experiencing it for the first time or if you have given birth before. As such Stanford Medical Centre proactively register new-borns without awaiting contact from the Parent or guardian.
Once your baby is born, the Practice will receive a notification of birth from the hospital which we will use to register the baby.
A member of our registration team will then be in touch between 4-6 weeks post birth to complete the registration details and arrange the GP 6-8 week check and immunisations.
Both the 6-8 week check appointment and FIRST immunisations are scheduled for the same day to avoid you having to make unnecessary journeys to the Practice.
Should you require medical assistance in the first few weeks and have not been contacted by our registration team, please contact us so that we can ensure you and your baby receive the assistance needed.

Stanford Medical Centre would like to invite you to use The NHS App
