Register with our practice

If you live within our practice area you are welcome to register with us and our reception staff will be happy to guide you through the procedure. Everyone in the UK has the right to free care from a GP. If you don’t have proof of ID or address, you can still register. Immigration status or nationality don’t matter – reception won’t ask for immigration documents and won’t share your information with the Home Office unless serious crime is involved. If you wish to register, please speak to a member of staff who can help and support you with the process of registration. Ask reception for an interpreter if you find it difficult to communicate in English.

To register online click here to start the process. You do not need proof of address or immigration status, ID or an NHS number at this stage.

Paper forms are still available at Reception if you require.

Please await confirmation that your registration has been successful before attempting to access our services. Your registration may be rejected if you live outside of our catchment area, if we have recently removed you from our practice, or if the information on the forms is not completed properly. We will inform you if your registration has been rejected.

If you have regular medications that have previously been prescribed to you by your GP, please submit proof of these medications via our online contact form or by visiting our Dispensary team to ensure a smooth transition of your medication.

If you are registering a child under the age of 5, we ask that you provide full immunisation history via the contact form on our website or by visiting Reception.

If you have a long term health condition you may be invited for a routine health check and blood tests, please contact Reception if you have any queries about this.

Patient Code of Conduct

Temporary Registration

If you are ill while away from home you should first contact your registered practice and request telephone support. Current technology and operating models allow remote consultation, assessment and prescribing. Many practices will be able to offer you appropriate care remotely without the need for you to register elsewhere. Prescriptions can be sent electronically to any pharmacy in the country to allow you to access treatment wherever you are.

If you are not registered with a doctor but require medical assistance, you should seek out the nearest walk-in centre or contact 111. If you are staying in the UK for more than 3 months, you should register with a regular GP as soon as possible to receive any ongoing treatment or further acute assistance you may need.

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 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. You cannot register as a temporary patient at a practice in the town or area where you are already registered.
