New Patient Registration

 

If you live within our practice area you are welcome to register with us. Our reception staff will be happy to guide you through the process.

Live within our boundary area?

Before filling out a registration form, please check whether you live in the surgery’s specified inner boundary area by entering your postcode below.

Unfortunately, we are not able to take on any new patients that live outside of the practice area.

If you have any questions about your eligibility to join this surgery, please contact us.

Registration Forms

To register as a new patient, please complete the online registration form to provide us with your information, whilst we wait for your medical records to transfer from your previous surgery. You do not need proof of address to fill in the form, but in some cases we may request that you attend the surgery with ID to help complete your registration (e.g Passport/Driving License) and one form of proof of address (like a Bank Statement/Utility Bill).

When you register, it's helpful to have your NHS number. You can use the NHS website to find your NHS number.

The online service makes it simpler for you to complete, and processes your registration into our clinical system, ensuring you are registered within 24-48 hours. If English is not your first language, there is an option to translate the online form into your preferred language. This service is designed and run by the NHS, so your personal information is safe.

You can complete this form on a PC, tablet or smartphone. If you need help or don’t have access to a device on which to register, then please speak with our reception team who will happily assist with a paper registration, but please note this can take between 5 to 7 working days to complete your registration.

Please note, that acceptance on to the list is at the discretion of the Doctor and there are a number of reasons why you may not be able to register with your chosen GP, for example, you may live too far away or outside of the practice area. If this is the case, simply choose another GP in your local area.

Temporary Services

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.

To register as a temporary patient, please visit the surgery to register for immediate care.

Further Information on Temporary Registration

Named GP

All Patients registered with the surgery will have been allocated a named accountable GP. A patient’s named GP must take lead responsibility for ensuring any necessary and appropriate services are coordinated and delivered to them.

The Named GP does not assume 24hr responsibility for the patient nor take on the work of other doctors or health professionals. Patients do not need to see their named GP at the practice and may be offered appointments with other clinicians.

If you have a preference to which GP you are allocated, the practice will make reasonable efforts to accommodate your requests. If you wish to know or change your named GP, please submit a reception enquiry.

If you wish to know which GP has been allocated to you, please ask reception at your next visit.
