New Patient Registration
The doctors welcome new patients who live within our practice area. As it often takes sometime for records to be forwarded from your former practice all newly registered patients will be asked to complete a health questionnaire and attend a 'New Patient Health Check' with Sandra, our Health Care Assistant.
Medical treatment is available from the date of registration. Please contact reception for further information.
Named GP
All patients are allocated a named GP. At Rawnsley Surgery this could be either Dr S Al-Hakim or Dr N Fadhil.
