New Patients

Register as New Patient

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 do not have proof of ID or address, you can still register. Immigration status or nationality doesn't matter - reception won't ask for immigration documents and won't share your information with the Home Office unless a serious crime is involved."

You will need to complete a GMS1 and the relevant form, then hand in to reception in person (if over 18). These forms will provide useful information whilst we wait for your medical records to arrive from your previous doctor.

If you do not want to use the GMS1 form below, or you don’t have time to pop to the surgery to collect or hand in forms; you can use the new link to the right – NHS – Register with a GP Surgery Service →

Temporary Patient Registrations

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.
