Step 1: Check Catchment Area
Please confirm that you live within our Practice Catchment Area:
Step 2: Complete a Patient Registration Form
Our online registration form will collect your details, a brief outline of your medical history and record your preferences. This information may be added to your record and will allow us to begin to provide you with medical services.
Step 3: Register for Online GP Services and Upload ID
Please register for Access to Online GP Services. To register for online services we do require a copy of your photo identification (passport, driving license or EU Identity card). You can upload a copy of your identity with the 'Upload ID' button below, or if you prefer to submit your documents in person please speak to the reception team.
I do not want to register online
If you prefer not to register online please complete the following steps:
- Use our Practice Catchment Area Tool to ensure you live with our catchment area.
- Download and complete a GMS1 Permanent Patient Registration form (also available from reception).
- Return your completed registration forms to reception along with your photo id.
Health Check
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.
Guide to GP Services
The Royal College of General Practitioners has produced a useful Guide to GP Services. This tells you about the services on offer at GP Surgeries and how to access them.
Temporary Residents
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.
Valid forms of ID
To register we require photo ID (passport, drivers licence or EU Identity card).
If you are homeless or of no fixed abode, then although it is helpful to have photo ID you can register without any.
Any other ID such as an HC2 Certificate, Rough Sleepers' Identity badge, Hostel registration or mail forwarding letter would also be helpful but again we will register you even if you don't have these. As we know it is more important that you can access health care when you need it.
If you are unsure on how to register, please ask at reception and they can help you to complete the registration process.
Accountable Named GP for All Patients
You will be allocated a named GP on registration but you will be registered with the practice rather than that individual GP. You may see any of the doctors. However, if you do have a preferred GP, please let us know when making an appointment and we will do our best to accommodate your request.
New patients are allocated a Doctor on Registration.
