Registration information

Please complete ALL THREE FORMS below:

  1. New patient registration form
  2. New patient questionnaire
  3. SCR summary care record form

NOTE: WE CAN NOT register you without ALL THREE forms completed.

We will ask you for proof of identity, e.g, photocard driving licence or passport and proof of your address, e.g. a utility bill (gas, electricity, water or telephone bill, not a mobile telephone bill) or council tax bill.

Whilst awaiting registration, please order enough supply of your repeat medication from your previous practice. Once registered, contact us online or speak to reception if you have repeat medication that needs adding and issuing.

For new patient registrations for children or babies, please do not use these forms, but contact us.

You should note that if you are on any medication, we will also book you in for a New Patient Check appointment with our Health Care Assistant.

THE REGISTRATION PROCESS CAN TAKE UP TO 14 WORKING DAYS TO COMPLETE.

Temporary patients

If you are ill whilst away from home or if you are not registered with a doctor and 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, 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.

Accountable GP

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.
