Register with the Surgery

We use an online service called Register with a GP surgery that makes it easy to register with this us.

Just fill in this quick online form to start the process. You do not need proof of address or immigration status or ID.

It would be helpful to have your NHS number. You can use the NHS website to find your NHS number.

The service is designed and run by the NHS, so your personal information is safe. It cuts our administrative workload and makes it easier for you to register.

Paper forms are still available if you need one.

The service is designed and run by the NHS. It aims to cut practice's workloads and make GP registration easier for the public.

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.

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 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.
