We normally only accept patients who reside within our practice boundary. Please see the map page. A patient may apply to register with the practice if they live permanently within the practice boundary. If for any reason it is decided not to permit registration (the reasons may not relate to an applicant's race, gender, social class, age, religion, sexual orientation, appearance, disability or medical condition), the patient will be notified in writing as to the reason why, along with the CCG's details and contact number for any queries.

Once patients are accepted onto the Bridges Medical Practice list they then have the right to express a preference regarding who they see, though they may have to delay their consultation until such times that their preferred choice is available. Patients under the age of 16 must be seen with a parent or guardian.
