New Patients

We accept patients from Tadcaster and the surrounding villages including Appleton Roebuck, Barkston Ash, Church Fenton and Ulleskelf. Please contact reception for full details.

Unfortunately we cannot accept new registrations from patients in Aberford, Acaster Selby, Bishopthorpe, Collingham, Copmanthorpe, Hutton Wandesley, Linton, Long Marston, Micklefield, Rufforth, Ryther, Sherburn in Elmet, South Milford, Tockwith or Wetherby. Patients currently on our list who move to Aberford, Sherburn In Elmet or Copmanthorpe may be able to remain registered with us (please check with the reception team) but other than these locations patients who leave the Tadcaster area will have to register with a more local GP.

If you are ill while away from home or if you are not registered with a doctor but need to see one you can receive emergency treatment from the local GP practice for 14 days. After 14 days you will need to register as a temporary or permanent patient.

You can be registered as a temporary patient for up to three months. This will allow you to be on the local practice list and still remain a patient of your permanent GP. After three months you will have to re-register as a temporary patient or permanently register with that practice.

To register as a temporary patient simply contact the local practice you wish to use. Practices do not have to accept you as a temporary patient although they do have an obligation to offer emergency treatment. You cannot register as a temporary patient at a practice in the town or area where you are already registered.

As your child grows older they will begin to take more respinsibility for their own health and wellbeing. In healthcare we sometimes use the terms Gillick Competence and Fraser Guidelines when deciding whether a young person under 16 can make decisions about their own care.

What is Gillick Competence?

This is a way of checking whether a child under 16 has enough understanding to make their own decisions about medical treatment. If a young person can understand the advice, the risks and benefits and the possible consequences of their decision they may be able to consent to treatment without their parents or carers permission. This applies to all types of healthcare, not just contraception.

What are the Fraser Guidelines?

These are a specific part of the law that applies when a young person under 16 is asking for contraceptive advice or treatment.

A healthcare professional can give advice or treatment without telling parents if:

1. The young person understands the advice.
2. They cannot be persuaded to involve a parent or carer.
3. They are likely to continue having sexual activity with or without treatment.
4. Their physical or mental health is likely to suffer without advice or treatment.
5. It is in their best interests to receive advice or treatment.

What does this mean for parents?

We encourage young people to involve their parents or carers in important health decisions. However, if a child is assessed as Gillick Competent or meets the Fraser Guidelines they may be able to speak to a healthcare professional in confidence.

This is about protecting young people's health  and ensuring they can access safe advice and treatment when they need it.

These fact sheets have been written to explain the role of UK health services, the National Health Service (NHS), to newly-arrived individuals seeking asylum. They cover issues such as the role of GPs, their function as gatekeepers to the health services, how to register and how to access emergency services.
