Register with the Surgery

We are currently accepting new patients. If you would like to register with us you will need to firstly check that you live within our catchment area.

You will be required to complete a New Patient Questionnaire. Forms can be picked up from either surgery reception. You will also be required to provide proof of address and identity. This is because we have lots of similar named patients and need to make sure your medical records are correct.

All our new patients are offered either a New Patient Medical or an NHS Health Check, depending on eligibility.
If you require any other information regarding registering with us then please call us on 0116 261 6234 (Highfields) or 0116 253 4919 (Belgrave) and we will be very happy to help.

Please be aware that any errors or missing information on the forms will delay the registration process, therefore please ensure that you check the forms before handing them into to us.

For patients who are not yet permanently settled in the UK or have not lived here for 3 years or more, we will require additional Identification to support your registration such as your passport, or proof of eligibility to live in the UK and proof of address (on a letterhead).

If you are registering a child under 15 at the practice please bring with you their RED BOOK plus any other immunisation records from overseas if they have one. You must also inform the Childhood Immunisation Team at Bridge Park Plaza on 0116 225 2525.

Disabled Patient Facilities

There are a number of car parking spaces for the disabled near the main entrance of both sites, with wheelchair access.

Our Reception team members are available to help patients with special needs.

All consulting rooms are on the ground floor at Highfields Medical Centre (Merlyn Vaz), and therefore wheelchair accessible. There is lift at Belgrave Medical Centre, as the practice is located on the 1st floor.

Both health centres operate a hearing loop system.

For further information on the accessibility, or to request any of these services, please contact reception.

Named GP

All patients at Highfields Medical Centre have a named, accountable doctor who is responsible for coordinating their care.

Your named doctor will be allocated to you by the practice. You can still talk to or make appointments to see any of our doctors or nurses, not just your named GP.

If you have a preference and would like to request a particular doctor at the practice to be your named GP please talk to one of our registrations team.
