New Patients

Register as New Patient

We welcome registrations from patients who live in our catchment area.  Please check if you are in our catchment area on the map below.

We would also encourage you to register with 'Patient Access' which is our on-line service. This will enable you to book appointments and order your medications, 50% of our appointments are available to book in this way which will save time and effort contacting the surgery by telephone.

How To Register?

Our patient registration policy does not discriminate on the grounds of race, gender, social class, age, religion, sexual orientation or appearance, disability, or medical condition.

Please allow 14 working days for your Registration to be processed. If you need to be seen urgently you can be seen as an (Immediate & Necessary Patient)

We only ask you to provide your ID and proof of address to avoid any identity fraud. You will need to be able to provide proof of ID that is valid within the last 3 months if you are moving GP to GP.

Examples of documents we accept are as follows:

• Photo ID (Passport or Driving Licence)

Proof of Address in the form of:          

• Utility bill (Gas/ Electric/Telephone)
• Bank/credit card statement

To register as a new patient at the practice, please follow the link below. 

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.
