The practice welcomes new
patients living within the practice
boundary. The area covers the whole of
Cathays and a large percentage of Heath and
Roath. The boundary does stretch to parts of
Gabalfa, Lakeside and Cyncoed. The map can
be viewed in the main waiting area in the
practice and a receptionist will assist in
establishing whether or not you reside
within our boundary.
We strongly recommend that you register as
soon as you move into the practice area and
not wait until you have a medical problem.
We urge students to heed this advice because
one day you may need a doctor urgently and
it makes sense to have your medical records
inclusive of full past medical history in
the place where you reside and not left with
your family doctor where your parents live.
When you register with us, you will be asked
to complete a registration form (GMS 1) in
the absence of a current NHS Medical Card.
In addition, the practice requires the
completion of a health form (downloadable
HERE) which will
provide us with a basic knowledge of your
past medical history whilst waiting for the
arrival of your medical records from your
previous practice.
The receptionist will provide you with
information regarding the services we offer
and will help you with the registration
procedure if required. You may make an
appointment to see a doctor or a nurse on
registration if you have a medical problem
or require a medication review.
Your NHS medical card with NHS number will
be posted to you from a central office in
Pontypool some 6-8 weeks after registration.
If you do not receive it, please contact
‘Shared
Services Partnership
