If you live within our practice area (see map opposite) and would like to register as a patient, please complete the registration forms available from reception or click on the link below to register online. 

The registration process will take around 15 minutes to complete. You do not need your NHS number, but it could make registration easier.

We may ask you for:

• details of previous GP surgery
• basic health and medical information

The information you provide will be used to identify the correct medical records. It will also help the GP surgery to offer relevant and appropriate healthcare services.

Upon receipt of your registration documents we may invite you to come into the surgery for a health check.

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.

These fact sheets have been written to explain the role of UK health services, the National Health Service (NHS), to newly-arrived individuals seeking asylum. They cover issues such as the role of GPs, their function as gatekeepers to the health services, how to register and how to access emergency services.

Special care has been taken to ensure that information is given in clear language, and the content and style has been tested with user groups.
