We have an open list and welcome requests for registration from patients living in our practice area. Patients should be aware that registration is with the practice rather than a specific Clinician. If you have a request to consult with a named Clinician, there may be sometime before an appointment with that Doctor is available, due to the working hours of the GPs.
In order to register with the practice, patients should:
- be ordinarily resident in the UK and live within the practice area
- Provide your NHS number. Whilst it is not mandatory, it is helpful to us if the NHS Number of the person/s registering can be provided. If your NHS number is not known, this can be obtained from your previous GP, or may be included on your repeat prescription slip or previous hospital letters
- Read the Patient Guidance on Joining the Practice. Patients have a choice about which surgery to register with, and it is important to choose a practice that will meet your needs. Our guidance sets out our appointment system and core information about how we provide services. Please consider carefully before registering with us to ensure the systems we have in place are aligned to your expectations. Your agreement should be signed and returned with your registration documents.
- Complete the Patient Registration form or the NHS Medical Card that will have been issued to you when registering with your previous GP
- Complete the New Patient Questionnaire (Adult if over 16, Child if aged 5 – 15, no form necessary for children aged 0 – 4)
Forms to register can be obtained at the practice.
Please ensure all forms are fully COMPLETED AND SIGNED. Incomplete forms will result in your registration with the practice not being processed.
If you are on regular medication from your previous practice please ensure you have at least one months’ supply. On registration, please provide either your repeat prescription order form from your last practice or a summary from your previous practice indicating your repeat medication. No items will be added to repeat at our practice without this information.
Due to current workload pressures, the practice will only process registration forms on a Wednesday afternoon. Forms submitted after 13:00 on Wednesday’s will be processed the following week.
