Register as a New Patient
If you would like to register with us, use the postcode checker to confirm you live within our practice boundary.
You can then register with us by completing both the forms below:
New patient health questionnaire
You can also visit us and speak to a receptionist who will support you with the registration process.
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. Please contact reception for further information.
Note: the practice will not prescribe benzodiazepine (temazepam/diazepam/nitrazepam) or zopiclone or zolpidem addictive sleeping tablets to any new patients.
Accountable GP
All patients have to have an accountable GP who will be responsible for patients overall care at the practice. If you wish to know who this is please contact the practice. Please note this may not be your usual GP, however your named GP will take the lead responsibility for the coordination of all services required under the contract and ensure they are delivered where required.
Practice Boundary
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.
