NEW - Register Online

You can now register as a patient by using our new online registration service. Just fill-in the quick online form by clicking the button below

How to register with the practice if you are not able to do it online:

First check below to see if you are in our catchment area. If so, please call at the reception desk of your preferred surgery. The receptionist will give you a registration form and a health questionnaire to complete. Alternatively, you can download the GMS1 Registration Form (or FP58 for a child) and a Health Questionnaire from this page

Please complete these as soon as possible and return them to the surgery. You will need a registration appointment if you are currently prescribed medication or if you currently have a health concern that you wish to discuss.’

This will give you the opportunity to discuss any current health problems. Please bring details of any medication you are currently taking with you.

Every patient has a basic right to express a preference to be treated by a GP of their choosing within the practice. Where this is so. we will record electronically. Patients expressing such a preference should understand that asking to see a named GP could well involve a longer wait. This is especially so given holidays, sickness, training courses and other factors.

Temporary Residents

If you are staying in our practice area, we are happy to see you in our normal surgery appointments, either with doctors or nurses.

You will be asked to complete a simple form, recording your own doctor as well as your permanent or temporary address. If you are staying more than 3 months, you should register as a permanent patient.

A copy of our temporary resident form can be downloaded and printed from the link below.

Visitors from abroad are welcome. European and Commonwealth residents can expect full access to free NHS emergency care. Some countries do not have such arrangements with the NHS, and so patients can expect to be charged for consultations.

As a temporary patient, we will not have access to your medical records so will be restricted in what log-term care we can offer. This will be discussed with you at your appointment but is usually best left to your own doctor.

Migrant Health Guide

Many migrants will come from countries with very different health care systems to the UK.

It will almost certainly be helpful to explain to new patients how the NHS operates and explore with them how this compares to the healthcare system that they've been used to.
