If you are a permanent resident in our Practice catchment area you can register with the surgery. You can determine if you are within area by speaking to our Reception Team or viewing the map below.
Our boundary, as with all GP practices in the area, is a hard limit with no exceptions for new patients so contacting the surgery for a manual check is recommended before registering if you are very close to the boundary. The search places the pin on the centre of the postcode rather than your exact location and there are areas where some properties in a postcode are outside the area and some are inside.
All patients registered at the Practice have a named GP however the Practice operates a service where you are free to choose which GP you see. You are also free to attend either of our surgeries if an appointment is more convenient for you.
Once you are registered, please notify us as soon as possible if any of your personal details change so our records remain accurate.
Catchment Area
How to register with us
If you would like to register with the practice, there are two options available:
- Collect Registration forms from reception at either of our sites, complete the forms and return them to reception. You will need to return the Registration Form in person with 2 forms of ID (1 x Photographic, and 1 x Address Confirmation).
- Follow the link below to our entry on the NHS “Find a GP” website, follow the on-screen instructions and complete the registration online. Once submitted, the details are sent through to us and we can register without you needing to come in. We may well contact for further information as not everything we need is on the online form, but this can still be done remotely.
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.
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. As such, we will not accept Temporary patients who normally live within Herefordshire unless there are special circumstances.
If you only need medication while you are away from home, it is often quicker and easier to contact your existing surgery (if you are registered at a practice in England) and request that they send a prescription via EPS (Electronic Prescription Service) to a pharmacy in the area.
