There are a number of ways to register with the surgery. Firstly check you live within our catchment area by entering your postcode on the practice boundary map or follow the link below.

Find out which GPs you can register with on the NHS website.

Registering with the surgery

To register with the surgery:

• fill out an online registration form and health questionnaire via the links below.
• visit reception and collect a paper registration form

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

You will also be required to provide two forms of identification.

1. Photo ID - such as a photo driving licence or passport, and
2. Proof of address - such as a recent utility bill (mobile phone bills not acceptable).

Without the required ID you will not be registered.

We request that you register as soon as you move to the area so we have adequate time to register you on our clinical system and request your previous records, before you require an appointment.

We also require you to complete the consent forms and a GMS1 form which are included in the Adult and Child registration packs when registering so that your medical record is coded with your consent/dissent to share data and forms of communication.  Please note we require parental consent for all children under the age of 16.

Please see the links below for both the adult and child registration packs.

Adult Registration Pack

Child Registration Pack

If you have a disability or sensory loss and require your information to be available in a specific format please complete the Accessibility Standard Form which is included in the Adult Registration Pack or advise a team member.  

If you have medication that is prescribed monthly please make an appointment to see your new GP before this is due to be issued as you will need to have a medication review. 

SystmOnline

Whilst registering with the surgery please register with SystmOnline.  Information is included in the registration pack. 

Please include your email address and sign to give consent for us to contact you via your email.  This method of communication enables us to contact you faster than posting a letter and it is much more cost effective.

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.

From 1st April 2015, practices are required to allocate all patients (including children) with a named accountable GP.

The named GP is responsible for the coordination and delivery of all appropriate services, where required based on clinical judgement, to each of their patients.

• Patients do not need to see their named GP when they book an appointment with the practice.
• Patients are entitled to choose to see any GP or nurse in the practice.

As a parent, family member or carer, you may be able to access services for someone else. We call this having proxy access. We can set this up for you if you are both registered with us.

To requests proxy access:

• collect a proxy access form from reception

Once proxy access is set up, you can access the other person’s profile in your NHS account, using the NHS App or website.

The NHS website has information about using linked profiles to access services for someone else.
