New Patients

Practice Area

The practice takes patients mainly from Central Swindon and the Nythe area. Our current practice boundaries are being re-defined to take into account the development of Swindon and population growth. Our receptionist will be able to advise whether you live within our Practice Area.

Registration

Please contact reception in the first instance. You will be asked to complete a new patient questionnaire and given an appointment with the Health Care Assistant and Practice Nurse for a health check, before registration. This is a useful opportunity to discuss your current and past medical history to ensure that we are fully aware of your health needs while we wait for your medical records to reach us.
