New Patients
Register as a New Patient
We are currently accepting new NHS patients. While you can register online using the link below, you can also fill out paper copy of registration form that are available in the practice.
You can complete your registration for the practice online here: Register with a GP surgery (gp-registration.nhs.uk)
You do not need ID to register at the medical practice. However, you will need a form of photo ID (passport, driving license, etc.) in order to register for our online services and the NHS app.
We would recommend having any repeat medications issued with your current GP surgery before registering with us, as it can take a few weeks for these to be transferred across to your record with us.
Alternatively, ask your current GP surgery for a blank prescription and bring this with you when you are needing to put a new order in with us.
If registering a child, we ask that you bring a record of any previous immunisations – this is normally in the red book.
Some people will be invited for a health check appointment when they register. This includes patients over the age of 40, those with long term health conditions and other specific conditions.
To find out more about our practice and registering with us, you can download our new patient pack.
Catchment Area
The practice can only register patients who live within the catchment area.
To check whether your address is valid, please consult the map.
You can also use the NHS GP finder. All you have to do is enter your postcode and the site will provide a full list of all the GP surgeries close to you.
If you are still unsure, speak to reception.
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.

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.
