Register with our practice

We only accept patients living within our practice area. Please contact the surgery to check if you are in any doubt, on 01526 832204.

You can register either online using this link or collect a registration form from reception.

All new patients are offered an appointment for a health check.

All patients living more than a mile from the pharmacy in the village can obtain their medication from the surgery.

Once registered, you will be registered with the Ruskington Medical practice (not a specific GP) and can see any of the doctors or nurses within the practice.

We are proud to be a ‘Safe Surgery’ for everyone in our community.

All are welcome.

Everyone in the UK has the right to free care from a GP. If you don’t have proof of ID or address, you can still register. Immigration status or nationality don’t matter -reception won’t ask for immigration documents and won’t share your information with the Home Office unless serious crime is involved.

In partnership with Doctors of the World UK, we will ensure that our practice offers a welcoming space for everyone who seeks to use our services.

If you wish to register, please speak to a member of staff who can help and support you with the process of registration. Ask reception for an interpreter if you find it difficult to communicate in English.

Temporary Residents

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.

Catchment Area (Practice Boundary)

Named GP

You may be aware that all practices are required to provide all their patients aged 75 and over with a named GP who will have overall responsibility for the care and support that our surgery provides to them.

If you are one of our patients in this age group Dr Wiseman will be your named GP.

Dr Wiseman working alongside the other GPs and clinical team will have overall responsibility for the care and support that our surgery provides to you. This does not prevent you from seeing any GP or Nurse Practitioner in the practice as you currently do.

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 on 01526 832204.
