New Patient Registration

New patients are welcome to join the Practice as long as they live in the Practice area.

Anyone who wishes to register with the surgery should collect the relevant forms from our reception and return once fully completed with all relevant information/documentation required.  Failing to do so will result in us not being able to process your registration efficiently.

To assist us in locating your previous medical record it would be useful if you have your NHS number.

Please bring with your proof of address and your passport or birth certificate and we would prefer to see a recent (last 3 months) utility bill, bank statement or similar, but there is no legal requirement to do so.

The name on the documents must be the registrant’s name unless you can provide a marriage certificate or deed of change of name.

Your registration status with us will depend on whether you are a visitor, staying temporarily in the area or are a permanent resident.

When you register you will also be asked to fill out a medical questionnaire. This is because it can take a considerable time for us to receive your medical records from your previous surgery.  

Please note the registration process can take up to 10 working days. 

Patients currently registered with us who move away will need to register with a new local GP.

Temporary Registration

We are happy to see UK residents who are visiting or temporarily residing with our patients. However we will only be able to deal with their acute problem.

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.
