New Patients

Patients wishing to join the practice can do so using our forms which are available below. For each patient joining the practice you will need to complete our registration form and also complete the GMS1 form. As a patient you are welcome to use either of our two surgeries, the same clinical team is often available in either. The main reason to choose a site is where you wish to collect your prescription as this where it will be prepared and available for you to collect it from.

Please complete the forms below, you can bring these in to the surgery or you can email them to us at licb.c83020@nhs.net

Registration form – Word

Registration form – PDF

Please also complete the form below, without this and the above form we will not be able to complete your registration and this may delay us being able to provide care.

GMS1

When registering children we encourage parents to provide a summary of their immunisation or a copy of the immunisation pages from their “red book” so that the practice can provide a timely and effective immunisation service.

If you are unable to fill out our online form above then please ask at reception for a paper copy, however it is a very simple form and if you are able to do this yourself it will really help us.

Healthy children under the age of 12 years do not need a new patient “check”, but we do like to have their red book brought in so we can ensure vaccination records are up to date. However, if you have a child under 12 that has significant health issues you should let us know.

The practice’s catchment area can be viewed by clicking here.

If you live outside of this area you should register with another GP practice closer to your home address.

The Practice

The practice area covers approximately 400 square miles of rural south Lincolnshire covering approximately 50 villages.  We have two surgeries;

Caythorpe Surgery, 52 High Street, Caythorpe, Grantham, Lincs, NG32 3DN and

Ancaster Surgery, 12 Ermine Street, Ancaster, Grantham, Lincs, NG32 3NP.

Both surgeries offer a full range of medical services.

If patients move outside of the practice area they are required to register with a practice in the area where they have moved to.

A recent government initiative allows practices to accept patients living beyond the defined practice boundaries but for home visits to be provided, by specific arrangement with NHS England, by a different practice.  The Caythorpe & Ancaster Practice has however decided that we are not able to engage with this scheme as we feel that to do so would dilute, and potentially compromise the care that we provide to our registered patients living within the present practice boundary.

For geographical reasons patients living in the Caythorpe area tend to consult at Caythorpe Surgery and patients living in the Ancaster area at Ancaster Surgery. As our clinical records are stored on the practice IT system and are accessible on both sites of the practice there is the option of consulting at either site of the practice.
