New Patients

Register as a New Patient

If you live within our practice area (below) you are welcome to register with us. Our reception staff will be happy to guide you through the procedure.

You will need to complete a registration form which includes a health questionnaire. This will provide useful information whilst we wait for your medical records to arrive from your previous doctor. Please pick these up from the surgery or find below. Once completed please return to the surgery with some proof of address (dated within the last 3 months).

Catchment Area

New patients who are on regular medication are offered a New Patient Check appointment with a GP to ensure all medication is added to your record ready for when you need to order more. It is a good idea to ensure you have a month’s supply of medication from your previous practice before you leave.

Medical treatment is available from the date of registration. Please contact reception for further information.

Please let us know your new address and contact details if you move house.

Temporary Patient Registrations

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.
