New Patient Registration

If you live within our practice area you are welcome to register with us and our reception staff will be happy to guide you through the procedure. All new patients are required to provide proof of identification such as a passport, NHS card or birth certificate and proof of address such as a recent utility bill or bank statement.  

You will need to complete a registration form (GMS1) and a health questionnaire which will provide useful information whilst we wait for your medical records to arrive from your previous doctor. If needed, our receptionists will help you fill in the registration forms.

Change of Circumstance

To avoid your unintended removal from the practice list please notify us as soon as possible of any changes to your name, address and/or telephone number, both home and mobile.

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.

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.
