New Patient Registration
Patients can register with our practice by downloading a registration form (see below). You should complete both the registration form and new patient questionnaire form fully and bring both along to the practice to register. Please complete separate forms for every member of your family who is seeking to register with the practice. Incomplete forms may delay your registration process. If you are able to provide photographic ID and proof of your address, that would be extremely helpful in order to confirm your identity. However, registrations will still be accepted if you are unable to provide such ID.
If you are registering your new baby, please only complete the registration form. On registering your baby's birth at the Registrars Office, they will provide you with a form that should accompany the registration form for the practice to keep.
Guide to GP Services
The Royal College of General Practitioners has produced a useful guide for patients about the services on offer at GP Surgeries and how to access them. You can download the guide below.
Registering as a Temporary Resident
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 treatment from the local GP practice by registering as a temporary 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.
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 permanently registered with a GP.
