Registering with the surgery
To register with the surgery:
- fill out a new patient registration form online
- use the NHS Register with a GP surgery service
When you register, it’s helpful to have your NHS number. You can use the NHS website to find your NHS number.
Out of area registration
New arrangements introduced from January 2015 give people greater choice when choosing a GP practice. Patients may approach any GP practice, even if they live outside the practice area, to see if they will be accepted on to the patient list.
The new arrangements mean GP practices now have the option to register patients who live outside the practice area but without any obligation to provide home visits.
Out of area registration is voluntary for GP practices meaning patients may be refused because they live out of area.
If your application is considered the practice will only register you without home visits if it is clinically appropriate and practical in your individual case.
If you want to register as an “out of area patient” with our practice, please submit a message on our website or speak to our reception team and you will be provided with the necessary paperwork.
Temporary patient 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 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 are in the area for longer than 24 hours and up to three months. This will allow you to be on the local practice 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 the surgery.
