New Patients

From all of us here at the Market Surgery, we would like to welcome new and prospective to our practice.

We have been providing Primary Healthcare in Wath-Upon-Dearne for in excess of 30 years. Our team of clerical and clinical staff are dedicated to providing the upmost levels of medical care to support all of our patients to lead happy and healthy lives.

We provide medical services for residents of the Wath-upon-Dearne, Swinton, Brampton and West Melton areas as shown on the interactive practice map below. We can only accept registrations of new patients that live within the outlined area. If you are a current patient that moves outside of the boundaries of our practice, you will be required to register  with an alternative GP provider.


You can search for your postcode by clicking in the top right corner of the map. This will indicate whether you live within the boundary or not.

Registration Documentation

We ask patients to provide us with valid ID where possible. This should be Government issued identification such as a Passport, Driving Licence, or Birth Certificate

Registration Information

The following documents regarding the Surgery may also be of interest to new patients:

New Patient Factsheet

How We Use Your Data Factsheet

New Patient Assessment of Needs

All patients need to provide us with information about their current health needs and basic lifestyle details.

For the majority of patients this will be sent to you as a Questionnaire to complete via SMS text message.

(For patients unable to complete the Online Questionnaire, paper copies can be collected from our reception desk and will be supplied if requesting a paper registration form.)

Following completion of the Questionnaire, we will invite patients to attend for appropriate appointments determined by your health needs. This may include an NHS Health Check, or a review of any underlying health conditions you may have.

 

Accountable GP

From the 1st April 2015 the NHS requires that every patient is allocated a named accountable GP. All patients registered patients have been allocated a named GP and any newly registered patients will be allocated a named GP within 20 days of registering. This is for administrative purposes only and you retain the right to see any of our GPs. You will still be able to book an appointment with the GP of your choice.

What does ‘accountable’ mean?
The named accountable GP takes responsibility for the co-ordination of all medical services and ensures they are delivered to each of their patients where required.
This new arrangement has been introduced to reassure patients that they have one GP within the practice who is responsible for ensuring that work is carried out on their behalf.

Does the requirement mean 24-hour responsibility for patients?
No. The named GP will not:

  • take on responsibility for the work of other doctors or health professionals
  • take on 24-hour responsibility for the patient, or have to change their working hours.
  • be the only GP or clinician who will provide care to that patient

Can patients choose their own named GP?
Patients have been allocated a named GP by the practice. However, if a patient requests a particular GP, reasonable efforts will be made to accommodate their preference.

Do patients have to see the named GP when they book an appointment with the practice?
No. Patients are free to choose to see any GP or nurse in the practice.

If you would like to know who your named accountable GP is, or you have a preference as to which GP you are allocated please contact the Surgery for more information.
