New Patient Registration -

please note if you are already registered with a practice in the area we are unable to take you on at this time,  unless you have been asked to find a GP due to your address now being outwith their practice boundary

Registrations will take place Monday, Tuesday, Thursday & Friday 11am - 1pm 

**we will take 30 registrations per week **

If you live in our practice area and would like to register with us please check our boundary with our receptionists.  If you need to see a doctor urgently, please inform at time of registering and we will try to accommodate.

You will be asked to complete a registration form and new patient questionnaire. We also have an online access form should you wish to use this service for ordering prescription and booking doctors appointment. You will find these in the links below:

Please note if you return forms and our list is closed we cannot accept your registration. Please complete and return as soon as possible

What we need to see to register you

Proof of address – one of the following:

Council tax bill, lease agreement, mortgage statement, utility bill (gas, electricity) TV licence, electoral roll/polling card.

Proof of Identification - one of the following

We must see photographic ID - passport, ID card, driving licence/provisional

Overseas new registrations

We must have proof you are working/studying

Patients are registered with the practice rather than an individual GP, however for administrative reasons you will be issued with the name of one of the doctors. You can at any time express a preference for a particular doctor. Please let the receptionist know the name of the GP you wish to book an appointment with.

We recommend that where possible you see the same doctor for an on-going problem or illness.  Not all the doctors in the practice provide all services and specific doctors may not be immediately available.

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.
