New Patient Registration

If you have moved to the practice area (we do not accept applications to register from people outwith our Practice area), call in at the surgery between 08:00 and 17:30 Monday to Friday to complete a registration form for each person and make a new patient appointment with the practice nurse. You may then meet one of the doctors.  Do not wait until you are in urgent medical need.

If you are temporarily resident in the practice area and are to be living here for up to three months, you may register with the practice as a temporary resident.  When you first come to the surgery, the receptionist will ask you for details about the practice with which you are permanently registered.

Remember that if you leave the area and the practice, you must let us know and register with another GP practice. Do not wait until you feel ill and need to see a doctor as, for example, you may need health reviews or certificates for insurance.

Guide to GP Services

The Royal College of General Practitioners has produced a useful guide for patients about the services on offer at GP Surgeries and how to access them.  You can download the guide below.

Registering 

Joining our Surgery is very straightforward.

First check that you live within the boundaries of the Practice Area. If you do then please download and print the two forms linked below, fill them in and then bring them along to the Surgery.

You will need to be registered before you can make an appointment.

It can sometimes take a while for new patient's medical records to come to us from their old Surgery. So please include as much medical history in our patient questionnaire.

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 if you will be in the area for longer than 24 hours but not more than 3 months. If you know you will be in the area for more than 3 months you should register as a permanent patient because once the 3 months have elapsed of your temporary resident status the practice cannot re-register you as a temporary resident.

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.
