New Patients

Non-urgent advice: The Huntcliff Surgery can now offer Online Registration for Patients

Register as New Patient

Huntcliff Surgery has an 'open list' and we welcome new patients.

If you reside with the practice area and wish to register at Huntcliff Surgery please download and complete a registration form or visit the practice to collect a registration pack. 

When you submit your registration form we do ask that you book a routine appointment, with our Health Care Assistant, for a new patient medical. New patient medicals are for patients aged 16 years old and above.

We will pass any details of children aged under 5 to the Health Visitor so that the Health Visitor is aware of your registration.

The practice does not stress that you must always see the same doctor, but they do suggest that if you are receiving care for a specific illness that you continue to see the same doctor until that complaint has been dealt with.

 

Practice Area

It has been agreed that the practice will look after patients living in the following areas:

  • Saltburn
  • Marske
  • New Marske
  • Redcar (up to Redcar Lane)
  • Upleatham Village

Changing Personal Details

We do request that you inform us when you change address, telephone numbers or name.

Temporary Patient Registrations

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 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.

Non-English Speakers

These fact sheets have been written to explain the role of UK health services, the National Health Service (NHS), to newly-arrived individuals seeking asylum. They cover issues such as the role of GPs, their function as gatekeepers to the health services, how to register and how to access emergency services.

Special care has been taken to ensure that information is given in clear language, and the content and style has been tested with user groups.

Open the leaflets in one of the following languages:
