Before filling out a registration form, check you are in our catchment area.

Find out which GPs you can register with on the NHS website.

Registering with the surgery

To register with the surgery:

• fill out an online registration form
• visit reception and collect a paper registration form

When you register, it’s helpful to have your NHS number. You can use the NHS website to find your NHS number.

ALL new patients are required to attend a "new-patient" clinic with the practice nurse/health visitor before registration is confirmed.

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.

From 1st April 2015, practices are required to allocate all patients (including children) with a named accountable GP.

The named GP is responsible for the coordination and delivery of all appropriate services, where required based on clinical judgement, to each of their patients.

• Patients do not need to see their named GP when they book an appointment with the practice.
• Patients are entitled to choose to see any GP or nurse in the practice.

You will be offered a health check when you join the practice. Any patients aged 16 –74 years who have not had a consultation within the last three years may request a consultation. 

Patients 75 years and over who have not had a consultation within the last twelve months may request a health check with one of our practice team. If you are unable to attend the surgery, a home visit could be arranged.

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

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.

Our surgery is accessible to patients using a wheelchair. We also have one parking space outside our practice which is reserved for patients displaying a disabled sticker.

We can arrange interpretation and translation services in person or by phone for patients who do not speak English, or if you need someone at your appointment that can do British Sign Language (BSL). Please let us know if you need this service when booking an appointment.

We adopt the Royal College of General Practitioners guidelines on the removal of patients and we will not hesitate to remove patients who:

• are violent or abusive (incl. racist abuse) to any Practice member.
• use or condone threatening or violent behaviour.
• cause damage to or steal from Practices premises/staff/patients.
• obtain drugs and/or medical services fraudulently
