We can only accept new patients who live in our practice area. Please contact the surgery for details after 10am.

If you are in our catchment area, you will be asked to come into the surgery to register. Please be aware we only accept New Registrations AFTER 10am. When you register you will be asked to provide two forms of ID. One form must include a current photograph such as a passport or driving licence and the second form should be a current utility bill (within the last 3 months).

You will also be asked to make an appointment to see either the practice nurse or healthcare assistant for a new patient health check. This is important for you as new patients. It gives us the opportunity to obtain important background medical information before your medical records arrive.

You may also print off a registration form below, fill it out and bring it in with you on your first visit to the practice.

Registration Form

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.

These fact sheets have been written to explain the role of UK health services, the National Health Service (NHS), to newly-arrived individuals seeking asylum. They cover issues such as the role of GPs, their function as gatekeepers to the health services, how to register and how to access emergency services.

Special care has been taken to ensure that information is given in clear language, and the content and style has been tested with user groups.
