New Patient Registration

 

We do not discriminate against our patients or their carers on the grounds of race, gender, social class, age, religion, sexual orientation, appearance, disability or medical condition.

How to Register

Check you live within the boundary area

Please note that you must live within the practice boundary to be able to register with us. If you’re unsure, please contact us.

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

 

Complete a New Patient Registration Form

Registration of new patients takes place at the practice every day that the practice is open.

When you register, it's helpful to have your NHS number. You can use the NHS website to find your NHS number.

When you join the Practice you will be allocated your own GP, however there is flexibility in the system. If you are female and have a specific problem and would only feel comfortable seeing a lady GP we will accommodate your request and book an appointment with a female GP. The same applies to males with a specific problem who would only feel comfortable seeing a male GP. However if you only wish to see a male or female GP then you can specify at the time of registration.

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.
