★★★★★
Very pleased with my experience at the surgery. The GP made an appointment the next day at FPH. My issue has now been identified and I'm now undergoing treatment that will resolve my medical issue.

I have been a patient with giffard drive for 30 years, and consider myself lucky to be a patient there. There has been a change of doctors over the past few years and without exception they have always been thorough and reassuring.

★★★★★
6 weeks after a fall, the pain in neck & shoulders unbearable + despite best efforts, increasing. Dr's gave me an amazing acupressure session and guidance on how to do it myself.
December 2022
★★★★★
I know during covid it was difficult to have many face to face appointments but for the older generation a reassurance from the doctor means a lot and taking a picture not always that easy. So very pleased to now be able to see my doctor face to face.

Both the doctor and nurse have been polite, lovely and friendly. The admin team was also great. I wish all clinics are like this one.

How do I register with a GP for the first time?

If you haven’t registered with a GP in Farnborough before, we recommend using our online registration form. This is the same form we recommend that all patients use. It’s important to complete the form accurately to ensure your registration gets accepted.

Once you’ve registered, if you qualify for an NHS Health Check you will be invited to attend one. This allows you to take actions to reduce your risk of developing serious conditions like heart disease, stroke, kidney disease, type 2 diabetes and some types of dementia.

Your new patient health assessment includes a health questionnaire, a check to ensure any repeat medications are up to date, in-person observations (such as measuring your blood pressure, pulse check, and BMI), blood tests (if clinically necessary and you’re aged between 40 and 74), and a consultation with a healthcare assistant to discuss your overall health and wellness.

At the end of your assessment, you’ll receive personalised advice to help you enjoy a healthier life for longer. And if needed, we can also book you in for a follow-up consultation.

Can you be registered with two GPs in Farnborough?

You cannot be registered with two NHS GP surgeries at the same time. When your registration with Giffard Drive Surgery gets accepted by the NHS, you will no longer be registered at your previous NHS GP surgery.

Can students register with a local GP in Farnborough?

You should register with a GP in Farnborough if you’re a student and you spend the majority of your time at your student address. You can then get quick and easy access to care when you’re in Farnborough. This is particularly important if you have a long-term health condition and need regular medication reviews.

Can I go to a GP in Farnborough without registering?

You need to register with a GP in Farnborough before you can get an appointment. However, in some cases, you can be registered as a temporary patient for up to 14 days and receive care despite not being a permanent patient.

Do I need my NHS number to register?

You do not need to know your NHS number to register with a GP in Farnborough. Your NHS number is used to help identify your medical records. However, we can still find your records without your NHS number. It’s important to complete the online registration form accurately to prevent delays with your registration.

How long does it take to register with a GP?

It only takes 5 minutes to complete the online registration form.

After that your registration is processed by the GP Surgery (usually within 2-3 working days). 

Finally, your registration is confirmed by NHS England.

The NHS states it can take 10 to 14 days to process your information and transfer your medical record from your previous NHS GP surgery (if you have one) to Giffard Drive Surgery. However, the process is often faster than this and can take as little as 2 to 3 days to be completed.

Do you have to pay to register with an NHS GP?

No, you do not have to pay to register with an NHS GP - anyone who lives in England can register with an NHS GP for free.
