New Patients Registrations

If you would like to register with the surgery, please speak to our reception team.

Register as a New Patient

To register with our practice, each person will be asked to complete a registration form.

If you are on repeat medication(s), please list your medication on your registration form. This is for information purposes only, whilst the medical records from your previous GP surgery are being transferred to us. You will still need to request medication when it is due.

If you are set up so your prescriptions are sent automatically to a pharmacy, please inform thee pharmacy if you no longer want them to recieve your medication.

If you are completing a child registration for a newborn baby or young child, please also make sure you include a list of vaccinations given, which can be obtained from your previous GP surgery or the red book.

We have an open list and patients moving into our catchment area are free to register; we are unable to accept registrations frm patients who are already living and registered with another GP surgery in the local area.

To register at the practice your home address must fall within our practice boundary. You can check to see if your address is within our boundary by using the map and postcode checker on this page.

You may consult any Clinician in the practice.

If you would like to register with the practice, please check you are in our catchment area, and contact our reception team.

Temporary Patient Registrations

If you are unwell whilst away from home, you can receive emergency treatment from a local GP practice for 14 days. If you need an appointment after 14 days, you will need to register as a temporary patient. You will need to be staying in our catchment area to use our emergency and temporary services.

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 surgery. If you will need treatment for longer then three months, you will have to permanently register with the practice. You can re-register with your previous GP surgery when you return home.

To register as a temporary patient if an emergency appointment is required, please speak to our reception team. If we can offer an appointment, you will need to attend the practice to complete a temporary patient registration form. You cannot register as a temporary patient at a practice in the town or area where you are already registered.

If you are unable to have an appointment in surgery, you may be advised to attend a local Urgent Care Centre or contact 111.
