New Patients
Register as New Patient
We accept registrations from patients living within our practice area. The map available on this link gives a guide to our practice boundary.
To register with us, please call at the surgery. You will be asked to complete a registration form, and a questionnaire providing us with basic information for your medical record. It would also be useful if you could bring photo ID and proof of address. Alternatively, you may download the printable forms below, complete and return to the surgery.
If you are on any repeat medication please provide us with full details and make an appointment to be seen by one of the GPs in order that we can add these to your medical record. We do not routinely issue repeat prescriptions for Benzodiazpines (Lorazepam, Diazepam etc). If you take this medication the GP will encourage you to reduce and eventually stop taking this.
Newly registered patients are welcome to attend for an initial consultation within 6 months of their registration date.
Non-English Speakers - The practice has access to an interpreter via Language Line. Please be certain to tell the receptionist that access to this service will be required when you book your appointment
Temporary Patient Registrations
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.
Non-English Speakers
These fact sheets have been written to explain the role of UK health services, the National Health Service (NHS), to newly-arrived individuals seeking asylum. They cover issues such as the role of GPs, their function as gatekeepers to the health services, how to register and how to access emergency services.
Special care has been taken to ensure that information is given in clear language, and the content and style has been tested with user groups.
Open the leaflets in one of the following languages:
