Register as a New Patient
We currently have an open list and welcome registrations from people living in or moving to the Practice area
If you move out of the area we regret you will need to register with another Practice. You are registered with the Practice rather than an individual GP and may see any of the Doctors. You are able to express a preference of GP and whilst the Practice will try to comply, it may not be always possible, in which case we will tell you why.
To register, please call in and collect a registration form from reception or use the link below to register online using the new 'Register with a GP surgery' service.
If you are on repeat medication then an appointment will be booked to see either a GP or our in-house Pharmacist.
It is important that you keep us informed of any changes to your circumstances i.e. address, telephone number in order for us to be able to contact you should the need arise.
Access to Prospective Medical Records
As a Practice we have identified several significant risks which we are unable to mitigate in allowing all patients automatic access to their records from 31st October 2023.
We will therefore disable this function unless you specifically request that this is made available to you. Please speak to a member of our Reception team for details on how to apply.
Practice Area
Register with a GP surgery
We are using a new online service called 'Register with a GP surgery' that makes it easy to register with this surgery.
Just fill in this quick online form to start the process. You do not need proof of address or immigration status, ID or an NHS number.
The service is designed and run by the NHS, so your personal information is safe. It cuts our administrative workload and makes it easier for you to register.
Paper forms are still available if you need one. You can download the form here or call into the surgery and ask for a form at reception.
Please note if you require access to our online services, we will need to see proof of ID before this can be activated, please use this online access form to request online access.
Accountable GP
The NHS requires that every patient is allocated a named accountable GP. All registered patients have been allocated a named GP and any newly registered patients will be allocated a named GP within seven days. This is for administrative purposes only and you retain the right to see any of our GPs. You will still be able to book an appointment with the GP of your choice.
Temporary Registrations
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.
Non English Speakers
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.
Special care has been taken to ensure that information is given in clear language, and the content and style has been tested with user groups.
