Register as a New Patient

If you live within our practice area you are welcome to register with us and our reception staff will be happy to guide you through the procedure. Eligibility can be quickly confirmed from your address so it would help if you could provide proof by way of a recent utility bill.

Please use the map and postcode check tool opposite to find out if you live within our area.

All new patients are offered a health check with a member of the healthcare team to ensure that any required tests are up to date and that we have an accurate note of any repeat medication you may be taking.

Medical treatment is available from the date of registration.

Every patient has a GP that they are assigned to but Patients have a right to see a specific practitioner if they so wish and they should tell the receptionist of their preference when making an appointment. However, while the practice will endeavour to comply with their wishes, there will be occasions when it will not be possible.

The practice has a policy that we do not discriminate in terms of race, creed, age, disability etc.

How to register 

The practices preferred way of registration is by using the online link below. However if you prefer to do this manually, please feel free to come down to reception and request the forms. Photo ID and proof of address is preferred for manual registation, as this helps us sync your medical record with the NHS. However it is not essential and we will happily accept your registration without this.

Knowing your NHS number when registering online or in person is also really benefical as this helps to trace your NHS medical record much easier:

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.
