New Patient Registration

 

We welcome all new patients to our practice. 

We do accept patients who live outside our catchment area, but this may not be suitable for all patients. 

If you are outside of the practice map area (see map below) and are likely to require home visits i.e. housebound/mobility issues, then please register with a practice more local to you.

To provide more holistic care including safeguarding the family, families should be registered at the same practice. When registering children, at least one parent should also be registered with us.

We encourage anyone who can to register online as it is quicker and can be done at your convenience, 24 hours a day. Please use the relevant links below to start the process.

How to Register

Check you live within the boundary area

To begin your registration process, first check if you are in our catchment area by entering your home postcode to check your location. 

Once this has been entered and checked, please read through the relevant information provided on how to proceed with your registration. If you have any further questions about your eligibility to join this surgery, please contact us.

You can also register online via the NHS website

Please allow three working days for us to process your registration application (after submitting your online registration - with all of the required documentation). If you need anything sooner, please call the surgery and speak to a member of reception. 

We will email you to let you know when your registration has been processed.

If you then require any medication/prescription, please call us to book an appointment with our clinical pharmacist for a medication review.

Important

Please be aware that if you are on highly addictive or controlled medications (i.e. tramadol, diazepam, temazepam etc) that we are unable to prescribe these medications until we have your old medical records, so please liaise with the reception to ensure we have these before booking an appointment. Please also note that we do not prescibe out of accordance with national and local medicines management guidelines.

In-Person Registrations

Alternatively, registration can be done in person at reception during our normal opening hours

Please speak to the reception team on arrival, who will provide you with the necessary forms to complete.

If you know your national health service (NHS) number, please bring this with you as it will help us with your registration.

We are required to have sight of proof of ID that includes photo ID. You will need to bring:

  • One proof of residency (e.g. rent book or utility bill. Bills must be dated within the last three months. Mobile phone bills cannot be accepted)
  • Photo identity such as passport or driver’s licence.

Your Named GP

The surgery provides all patients with a named GP who will have overall responsibility for the care and support that our surgery provides to them.
We need to divide our patients evenly between all of our doctors, so they can manage their workload. To do this fairly and impartially, we have selected patients by surname to match to a doctor.

We know that some patients will wish their named GP to be a particular doctor. Where a patient expresses a preference as to which doctor they have been assigned, the practice will make reasonable efforts to accommodate this request, but we would like to reassure patients that this system does not prevent you from seeing any GP in the practice as you currently do. Your named GP will not be available at all times.

You do not need to take any further action and will be informed of your named GP in due course. In the meantime, if you wish to be told the name of your accountable GP, please ask the receptionists when you are next in the surgery.
