New Patient Registration

Click here to see if you live within our practice area.

Please collect the necessary paperwork from the practice, which consists of a registration form and a questionnaire (or click on the link below to download a form). Fill the forms in and pass them back to reception. It is often several months before we receive your medical records. 

Registration Form

If you wish you can make an appointment with a Sister for a routine health check, which includes taking your height, weight and blood pressure. You are only formally accepted when the paperwork has been signed. You will receive a letter confirming your registration.

If you are on regular medication, please make an appointment to see one of the GP's for a medication review.

Patient Online Access

It is now possible to register to allow access to online services.  This allows you to make appointments, request repeat prescriptions and look at your medical record online.  You are still able to access services via the telephone as well.  If you wish to register for this please download and complete the form below and bring it to the surgery along with two forms of ID (one photographic-passport, driving license, EEA/EU ID card; and one proof of address-bank/credit card statement, utility bill).  Also below is some information about the service to read before registering.  If you have previously registered then you will still need to complete the forms again (due to changes in the system).

Temporary Registration

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.
