Local NHS GP Partnership Welcomes New Patients

Registering with a GP ahead of flu season

As flu season approaches, residents in the local area are being reminded of the importance of registering with a General Practitioner (GP). Health Care First, an NHS GP partnership operating seven surgeries across the region, is currently accepting new patients. This offers an opportunity for individuals who have recently moved or who have yet to register with a GP to do so ahead of the winter months.

About Health Care First

Health Care First provides primary care services across multiple locations, including Castleford, Normanton, Ferrybridge, Byram, Methley, and Airedale. The partnership offers a comprehensive range of services for patients of all ages, such as:

• Routine appointments and health checks
• Management of long-term conditions
• Prescriptions and medication management
• Referrals to specialist services

The practice emphasises community-focused care, aiming to support patients through accessible and friendly services.

Registration Details

Registering with Health Care First is free and does not require identification, proof of address, or an NHS number. Patients can register online via the practice’s website or visit any of the surgeries in person for assistance. The online registration process is designed to be quick and straightforward, taking just a few minutes to complete.

Being registered with a GP ensures access to essential healthcare services, including the NHS flu vaccination, which is particularly important during the colder months.
