New Patients

Quote / Testimonial:

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. 

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.

We encourage all new patients to attend for a New Patient Health Check with one of our Healthcare Assistants. The health check will include recording your height, weight and blood pressure. You will be asked to provide a urine sample. This health check provides an opportunity for us to meet and it is important for us because we can identify if you need medical care from us as a new patient.

If you are currently on medication and will require repeat prescriptions, please make an appointment to see a GP too. Your new GP can then authorise the repeat medications before you request it and it will avoid any delays in you being provided with your medications.

How to register with us

If you would like to register you can obtain a Registration form by either collecting a registration pack from our Reception Team or alternatively you can print and complete the Registration Form from the link below. Whichever way you choose, you will need to return the Registration Form in person with 2 forms of ID (1 x Photographic, and 1 x Address Confirmation) & a GMS1 Form (below) which needs to be hand written and handed back with your Registration Form.

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.
