New Patient Registration
Register with the practice as a new patient
How to Register
To register you will be required to complete a registration form, these are available to complete online below. Our friendly Care Navigation team are on hand to help or answer any of your questions.
If you live outside our ‘practice area’ you can apply to be registered as an ‘out of area patient’. This service is intended for patients where it is more convenient for them to attend a GP further away from their home address, for example, because it is close to work.
The registration is at our discretion and if we feel that after registering you, your care needs are more complex, then we can review your registration and ask you to register at a GP closer to home. If you live outside of the practice area (catchment) we will be your registered doctor but under the out of area guidance we are not required to provide you with a home visit. In this instance, if you require a GP and are too unwell to attend, contact the practice in the first instance. If we determine that you need access to services local to where you live we would ask you to call NHS 111.
If you fall into one of the new residential areas within the boundary. We are accepting registrations and are awaiting Google Maps to update to accommodate this change.
You will be asked to upload some form of ID to the registration form that will help to ensure the correct matching of a patient to the NHS central patient registry, thereby ensuring any previous medical notes are passed onto us.
Registration Forms
Register for Online Booking and Prescriptions
If you would like to use the online booking appointment system please come into the surgery and ask a Care Navigator. Please bring some form of identification (photo ID or proof of address). We can then register you to the NHS app and provide a letter for you, with all the information you need.
You will be provided with your Access ID and your PIN along with the Practice ID to sign up.
Temporary Services
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 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.
Your Named GP
All Patients registered with the surgery will be allocated a named accountable GP who will be responsible for your overall care. Patients will be advised of their usual GP when registered. If patients have a preference to which GP they have been allocated, the practice will make reasonable efforts to accommodate requests. If patients are unaware of who their usual GP is, our Care Navigators can assist with this information. When patients ring to book a GP appointment, they will always be booked in to see their usual GP. Having a usual doctor is the gold standard for providing continuity of care, as this has been shown time and time again to give the highest level of patient satisfaction and health care outcomes.
