New Patient Registration

If you are in the practice area but still need to register with us please do so – and preferably before you actually need us, as it can take a month or two for your records to get to us from your previous surgery. You can register using the the online form or by collecting a form from reception.

If you are an Armed Forces Veteran or Reservist please let us know. Veterans and Reservists should enjoy the same standard of, and access to healthcare, received by any other UK citizen. However, they should receive priority treatment whenever it relates to a condition resulting from their service in the Armed Forces.

If you need to see a clinician the same day you register that's fine but please arrive a little early so we have time to sort the paperwork.

You are registered at a Group Practice. You have the right to express a preference of GP and whilst we try to comply with this it may not always be possible and in which case we will inform you of this.

When you register you will be allocated to a named GP, however you are able to see other GP's in the practice.

Temporary Registration

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.
