New Patient Registration

If you wish to register with the Practice, please come along to reception between 10.00am and 5.00pm, and ask for a registration form. You will normally be able to register on the day. The Practice accepts new patients from within the city boundary east of the River Exe, excluding Topsham. Click here to check if your address is in our area

If you have any of the following information available, this might be useful when completing the registration forms:

When you attend the surgery to complete your registration forms we will ask you to complete a mini health check. This is an opportunity for us to obtain details of any pre-existing medical conditions such as diabetes, asthma, high blood pressure (hypertension), etc. and determine if you have any current problems.  

Your Registered GP

All patients registered with The Heavitree Practice will have a named accountable GP. Patients are told who their GP is when they register and are kept informed if this changes eg when a GP leaves or joins the Practice. If you are not sure which GP you are registered with, please ask at reception.

Your GP will take lead responsibility for your care, including coordination of any healthcare services they judge that you require. However this does not mean that you can only see this GP, particularly if you need an appointment on a day or at a time that they are not available.

To ensure that our GPs’ caseloads are balanced we have one GP to whom we assign new patients each month. We also try to keep immediate family members together.  If you have a strong preference as to which GP you are assigned please let reception know and we will make reasonable efforts to accommodate your request.
