Registration
When you register at the surgery we ask you to complete a form with some basic medical information as it takes some time for your full records to arrive. You may be asked to make an appointment if you have particular medical problems or medication that we would like to discuss further with you. We reserve the right to decline applications to join the practice.
COVID-19 (Coronavirus) alert - To limit footfall into the practice all registration forms must be submitted online until further notice. Please use the link below to send us an electronic registration form. Please do not come into the surgery to register.
Please do not submit applications to multiple practices at the same time, as this causes uneccessary delays to processing registrations.
NEW PATIENT REGISTRATION FORM*
*All registration applications must be submitted with your NHS number, applications submitted without NHS number may be rejected. If you are unsure whether you have this, please refer to this guidance.
If you have any queries about the registration process, please do not hesitate to phone the practice and speak to a member of the Reception Team, who will be happy to help you.

We reserve the right not to register patients if we are not satisfied with the identification process or eligibility for NHS care.
Out of Area Registrations
If you are a currently registered patient moving outside the practice catchment area, it is now possible to apply to re-register with us as an 'out of area' patient. You would still be able to access most services by our practice but not home visits by a clinician from this practice.
Please see the page below for further information and how to apply.

It is very important that we have up to date contact details for all our patients. If your details change please complete our online 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.
