New Patient Registration

If you wish to apply for registration with the practice please telephone or call in and one of our reception staff will be able to help.

Our receptionist will explain the procedure to you, provide you with the relevant paperwork, and book an appointment for you to see one of our healthcare assistants.

Before your appointment, you will be asked to fill out some forms about your current and previous health conditions, the medications you take and the details of your previous practice. Medical treatment is available from the date of registration.

You will also be required to show two pieces of identification at registration, one photo ID and one as proof of address,  for example bank statement or utility bill.

Part of the registration procedure includes:

• Completion of a new patient health check form, which you can obtain from reception or print one from the link below "New Patient Health Questionnaire" .

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.
