Musters Medical Practice - Information for new patients wishing to join the doctors surgery

Noticeboard

After 15 years of working as a GP at Musters Medical Practice, Dr Richard Barnsley has now retired. We are pleased to announce however that Dr Laura Turnbull has joined the practice as a GP Partner and Dr Hayleigh Peachey is now working as a salaried GP.

Did you know Rushcliffe patients you can access routine appointments in the evenings and weekends.

These appointments are best suited for things that will not need ongoing review by your usual practice.

You can book through the practice reception during opening hours for appointments between 6.30pm and 8pm in the evening on weekdays and between 8.30am and 12.30pm at weekends. If you request one of these appointments, which are outside of usual working hours you will be offered a slot with a Rushcliffe GP, Nurse or Healthcare Assistant at one of three locations across the borough. The location will depend on the day of your appointment.

The additional evening and weekend appointments are available at:

East Bridgford Medical Centre
Castle Healthcare Practice in West Bridgford
Keyworth Medical Practice

PLEASE NOTE THAT ALL EXTENDED HOURS APPOINTMENTS ARE PREBOOKABLE ONLY BY CONTACTING YOUR OWN PRACTICE

THERE IS NO WALK IN SERVICE OFFERED. IF YOU REQUIRE URGENT ASSISTANCE BEFORE 8AM OR AFTER 6.30PM, PLEASE CALL 111

New Patient Registration

If you live within our practice area you are welcome to register with us and our reception staff will be happy to guide you through the procedure. Eligibility can be quickly confirmed from your address so please provide proof by way of a recent utility bill. We also require one form of photographic ID.

You will need to complete a registration form (GMS1) and a health questionnaire which will provide useful information whilst we wait for your medical records to arrive from your previous doctor.

We are keen to meet our new patients so that we can try and meet your requirements. We therefore ask you to make an appointment with a practice nurse when you register. Patients with complex medical problems or currently taking medication should first consult with their new GP.

Practice Area

The practice covers, and can accept registrations from, the areas of Wilford and Lady Bay bordered to the north by the River Trent, West Bridgford, Gamston, Edwalton, Compton Acres, Ruddington and Tollerton to the south.

Change of Address or Telephone / Mobile

If you move house or change your telephone number please inform the reception staff of the change as soon as possible. Please also inform the Patient Services Department at Nottingham Health, Tel: 0115 9123344.

There have been a few occasions where we have needed to contact patients urgently, only to find the details we have are out of date. That important message might one day be for you!

Registration With The Practice - Not On-Line

PreRegistration At this present time we are not accepting on-line registrations but you can print off an application below to bring with you to the surgery.

When you register you will also be asked to fill out a medical questionnaire. This is because it can take a considerable time for us to receive your medical records. There is an online version of this file too, which you may fill out and send to us. When you come to the surgery you will be asked to sign this form to confirm that the details are correct.

Online Medical Questionnaire For New Patients Note that filling in and sending this form is not a registration which can only be done by presenting a signed form.

Note that by sending the form you will be transmitting information about your self across the Internet and although every effort is made to keep this information secure, no guarantee can be offered in this respect.

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 by registering as a temporary 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.
