New Patient Registration

New patients can register in the following ways:

1. If you are a new patient, you need to fill the purple registration form and bring identification as mentioned below.

Identification

A combination of the following can be accepted as identification (it is preferable that one item of photo ID is seen, along with one document containing your patient’s address):

• birth certificate
• marriage certificate
• medical card
• driving licence
• passport
• local authority rent card
• paid utility bills
• bank/building society cards/statements
• National Insurance number card
• payslip
• letter from Benefits Agency/benefit book/signing on card
• papers from the home office
• P45.

This list is not exhaustive. The following documents are easily obtained but will not be accepted as proof of identity if presented in isolation:

• library card
• video rental card
• health club card
• private rent book.

If we are unable to accept your registration, for example if you live outside our practice area, we will inform you accordingly.

All new patients are offered a health check with a member of the healthcare team to ensure that any required tests are up to date and that we have an accurate note of any repeat medication you may be taking.

Medical treatment is available from the date of registration. Please contact reception for further information.

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.

To register as a temporary resident you will need to complete the form given below and please return the completed form to the surgery.

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.

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.
