Registration

You can register online via the 'Find a GP' option on the link below.

REGISTER ONLINE

If you cannot register online please visit the surgery with two original forms of identification (including photo and proof of current address) and request a registration form from the front desk.

We aim to process registrations within 5 working days.

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.

If you would like more details about local GP practices, or have any particular concerns about finding a new doctor, go to NHS Choices at www.nhs.uk or call NHS England Customer Care Centre on 0300 311 2233

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.

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.
