New Patient Registration

 

The Practice registers all patients who reside either permanently, or on a temporary basis, within our catchment area.

How to Register

Check you live within the boundary area

Enter your post code to check you live within the practice boundary area

if you live outside the practice catchment area, you will be able to register under the Out of Area scheme but please be aware that under this scheme you are not be eligible for home visits. This applies also to our Patients who are already registered and wish to remain with us but move to a location outside of our practice boundary.  Please understand that we are happy for you to remain registered with us. Home visiting outside of the practice boundary is not within our NHS contract and therefore the NHS Out of Area GP home visiting service is operated through NHS 111. 

If either of the above applies to you, please complete and sign the Out of Area registration form below. 

We do not discriminate on any grounds and operate a 'Clean Slate' policy for patients transferring from other Practices.

Visitors from overseas who do not have access to NHS treatment may be seen at the doctor's discretion subject to a consultation fee and payment for any medication, investigations etc. Please see the notice in reception for details of charges.

Before you start, please ensure that you have two documents confirming your identification, that you are able to upload as part of this process. One of these documents needs to be a form of photo I.D. and the other needs to be evidence of your address.  Acceptable forms of Identification include: Photo Driving License, Passport, Tenancy agreement, Mortgage statement, Bank statement, Utility bill (date within the past 3 months) etc.

if you have previously registered with a GP Surgery in the UK you must provide your NHS Number. If you do not know this please contact your previous GP Surgery. If you need assistance please ask for a member of staff.

It can take up to 14 days for us to fully process your registration, but once completed, your medical records will be transferred to us and a new medical card will be sent to your home address. You do not need to inform your existing practice that you are moving, although it may be courteous to do so.

Medical and Admin Queries

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

The surgery provides all patients with a named GP who will have overall responsibility for the care and support that our surgery provides to them.

We need to divide our patients evenly between all of our doctors, so they can manage their workload. Therefore to do this fairly and impartially, we have selected patients by surname to match to a doctor.

We know that some patients will wish their named GP to be a particular doctor. Where a patient expresses a preference as to which doctor they have been assigned, the practice will make reasonable efforts to accommodate this request, but we would like to reassure patients that this system does not prevent you from seeing any GP in the practice as you currently do. Your named GP will not be available at all times.

You do not need to take any further action and will be informed of your named GP in due course. In the meantime, if you wish to be told the name of your accountable GP, please ask the receptionists when you are next in the surgery.
