New Patient Registration

 

To be eligible to register you must have a fixed or temporary address in the FY8 postcode. If you are moving to the area, please inform us of your confirmed move in date.

We never discriminate on the grounds of age, sex, medical condition, race, disability or social class, and if we are unable to register you we will always provide you with a reason in writing.

When you register, it's helpful to have your NHS number. You can use the NHS website to find your NHS number.

Register at our GP Practice

Just fill in this quick online form to start the process. You do not need proof of address or immigration status, ID or an NHS number.

The service is designed and run by the NHS, so your personal information is safe. It cuts our administrative workload and makes it easier for you to register.

Paper Registration

If you would like to register via our paper registration forms. Please visit the practice and ask one of our receptionists for a registration form and please bring one form of photo ID and one proof of address.

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

You will not be registered with a single GP, but will be able to see whichever GP you prefer on a routine appointment (choice is not usually available for urgent appointments).

However, you will be given a ‘named accountable GP’ in line with requirements laid down by NHS England. This GP will be responsible for the administration work involved in your time with the Practice such as issuing and review repeat medication and reviewing documentation from third parties (such as hospital appointments).

If you would like to know which GP is your names accountable GP, please ask at Reception as we regularly change the registering GP for new patients to keep the patient load equitable between our GP Partners.

Please note: Due to administrative purposes any patient who is registered with a GP who leaves, will be registered with a new GP, this does not mean you have to only see this GP, you can request to see any of our GP’s.

If you require communication in an accessible format such as large print, easy read please contact the surgery.
