New Patient Registration

If you live within 10 miles of our practice, you are welcome to register with us. Call into the practice and our friendly reception staff will be happy to guide you through the procedure.

Documents required to register:-

• Proof of address, a recent utility bill will be sufficient.  If you have recently moved into the property, any legal documentation with the address will be sufficient.
• Photographic ID - Driving licence or passport.
  
• If you take regular medication the dispensary will require either the green repeat slip or the boxes with labels attached to photocopy.  If you haven't got either of these, please speak to Dispensary for further advice.

On completion of the forms, please pass to the receptionist who will check to ensure all the appropriate information has been completed.

All new patients are required to have a New Patient Health Check with a member of the healthcare team. The receptionist will arrange a convenient time for you to attend.

Temporary Registration

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.
