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

Just fill in the 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 cuts our administrative workload and makes it easier for you to register.

Paper forms are still available from reception if you need one.

To register as a new patient you will need to live within our practice boundary. You can use the interactive map and postcode checker opposite to confirm eligibility.

Everyone is welcome in general practice. Anyone living within the practice area can register without needing proof of ID, address, immigration status or an NHS number to receive care or see a GP.

In line with our surgery policy, patients may be removed from the practice list if they persistently do not attend their appointments.

Changes to Personal Details

Please remember to inform us immediately of any changes to personal details such as name, address or contact numbers.

Named GP

Every patient is entitled to an accountable GP and where a preference is expressed reasonable effort will be made to accomodate this. 

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.

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.
