How to Register
The doctors welcome new patients who live within our practice area. Please click on the map image to view our catchment area. For more detailed queries about whether you are within our area, please contact the surgery directly.
As it often takes sometime for records to be forwarded from your former practice all newly registered patients will be asked to complete a health questionnaire and are offered a consultation with the doctor.
Medical treatment is available from the date of registration. Please contact reception for further information.
We will request that patients provide a form of ID which will help to confirm the correct identification of a person, however if you are unable to provide this, please do not worry and speak to a member of the team.
At the Practice, we will allow any homeless patient to register by using either a temporary address, such as a friend’s address or a day centre. Furthermore, you can also use the practice address to register as we require a method of contact say, for example, should they need to be advised of a secondary care appointment or test results.
There are a number of reasons why you may not be able to register with your chosen GP, for example you may live too far away. If this is the case simply choose another GP in your local area.
Please note that if you were previously registered with a Doctor outside the UK then the Practice will not have access to your medical notes. All patients who register from abroad should contact their previous Doctor to obtain copies of their notes.
Register online
We are using a new online service called Register with a GP surgery that makes it easy to register with this GP surgery.
Just fill in this quick online form to start the process. You do not need proof of address or immigration status, ID or an NHS number.
The service is designed and run by the NHS, so your personal information is safe. It reduces our administrative workload and makes it easier for you to register.
Paper forms are still available if you need one.
The National Care Record Service (NCRS)
The National Care Record Service (NCRS) is the way in which health professionals now access the Summary Care Record (SCR). The SCR has not changed, it is just the way SCRs are accessed that has changed.
For more information about NCRS please see: National Care Records Service
Information for patients who wish to opt out of having a summary care record, including an opt out form is available here: Opting out
