Register as a New Patient

If you are not currently a patient of the Practice, you live within our practice boundary (see map opposite) and you wish to register with us please click on the link below to complete your details.  

If you do not not live within the cathcment area your application will be rejected and so please use the postcode checker first.  We will not notify that you have been rejected, your request is just removed from our database. 


We are using a new online service called Register with a GP surgery that makes it easy to register with this GP surgery.

New patients just need to fill in the online form via the link above to get started. They do not need proof of address or immigration status, ID or an NHS number.

Paper forms are available for people who need them from the surgery.

The service is designed and run by the NHS. It aims to cut practices’ workloads and make GP registration easier for the public.


 

Named Accountable GP

Once you have successfully registered with the Practice you will be allocated a named, accountable GP.  You can choose to see any GP you prefer and you do not need to be 'registered' with them to do so.

 We do not routinely move patients registrations from one GP to another unles the GP specifcally requests this.   The GP allocation is for workload purposes.   All GPs have access to clinical records, pathology reports , doucments etc.  and routinely cover administratively for each other on days off and holidays

Temporary 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.

Accessing someone else’s information

As a parent, family member or carer, you may be able to access services for someone else. We call this having proxy access. We can set this up for you if you are both registered with us.

To requests proxy access:

  • collect a proxy access form from reception

Linked profiles in your NHS account

Once proxy access is set up, you can access the other person’s profile in your NHS account, using the NHS App or website.

The NHS website has information about using linked profiles to access services for someone else.
