New Patient Registration
Register with the practice as a new patient
How to register
If you live within our practice area, you are welcome to register with us.
You do not need proof of ID, address, immigration status or an NHS number to register with us, but if you wish to have online access to your records and prescription requests, then Data Protection rules will require a photo ID check.
Medical treatment is available from the date of registration. Please contact reception for further information.
Check you live within the boundary area
To access our registration process, first check you are in our catchment area. If you have any questions about your eligibility to join this surgery please contact us.
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 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.
Your named GP
All our patients are allocated a named GP when registering.
The role of the named GP is to take responsibility for the co-ordination of all appropriate services and ensure they are delivered where required (based on the named GPs clinical judgement) to each of their patients. The named GP will deal with all correspondence received from hospitals and other organisations regarding your care, and will review any repeat medication you have.
Having a “named GP” does not mean that this is the only doctor or clinician at the practice who will provide you with care. You do not have to see your named GP when you book an appointment; you can continue to feel free to choose to see any GP or nurse. If you need to be seen urgently this may be with any of the doctors working that day.
If you have a preference for your named GP please let us know and we will make every effort to accommodate this request.
If you want to know who your named GP is, please ask our receptionists who will be happy to help.
