New Patient Registration
Last Updated: Wednesday, 09 April 2025Please follow the steps below in order to register as a patient at Mather Avenue Surgery:
Check you live within the Practice's catchment area.
The practice has a catchment area within which it can accept new patients and you must live within its boundaries.
To register with us, you must complete a registration form either online or, on paper and bring the form to us or arrange to have somebody bring it to us on your behalf. If you're unable to do this for any reason, please contact https://www.healthwatchliverpool.co.uk/contact-us
You can also call them on 0300 77 77 007 between the hours of 09:00 – 17:00 Monday to Friday.
Register Online
You may need to bring photographic ID into the surgery before you are registered on our system.
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY.
You can click here to register online via the NHS' 'Register with a GP' service. Where possible, we recommend using your NHS login to register with us. If you don't yet have one, you'll be able to create one as part of the process. Your NHS login will allow you to request repeat medications and view your medical record online. If you choose to register using your NHS login you DO NOT need to bring and identification document to the surgery.
If you choose to 'continue without' an NHS login, please bring some identification (passport, driving license, etc.) to the surgery. Your registration WILL NOT be completed until then. This is to protect your privacy.
Complete registration and health check forms
The registration form is also available from reception and will ask you for personal details such as your name, address, date of birth, telephone number, previous address and doctor. This information helps the Primary Care Trust to quickly trace your medical records and send them to your new surgery. The Health Check Questionnaire will ask you for some basic, lifestyle and allergy questions, so we can provide the best service possible from the start. You can also print off a registration form, fill it in and bring it to the surgery.
Placement on the Practice List
Once you have completed and signed the forms bring them along to the surgery
Accountable GP
The practice has a requirement to assign an ‘Accountable GP’ to all patients on the practice list. All patients will be assigned to a GP in the practice and this will be recorded on their medical record as their ‘Usual GP’.
Patients will be advised of who their assigned Accountable Usual GP is when they join the practice. All currently registered patients are to be advised of their assigned Accountable/Usual GP in such a manner as is considered appropriate by the practice. In circumstances where a patient’s assigned Accountable/Usual GP is not able to carry out the duties of accountable GP for any significant period of time (other than normal periods of leave) then the practice will be required to assign patients to a replacement Accountable/Usual GP and to give patients notice of the assignment accordingly.
Should a patient express a preference as to which general medical practitioner within the practice they would prefer to have as their assigned Accountable/Usual GP then the practice will make reasonable efforts to accommodate the request. Requests to change an assigned Accountable/Usual GP should be made in writing to the Practice Manager.
