New Patient Registration

If you live within the practice area you may apply to register as a patient with the practice. 

Simply come to the medical centre reception bringing your NHS card. If you don’t have your card then there is a form for you to fill in instead.

Once registered, you will be invited to attend a new patient health check with the practice nurse. You may also be invited to attend a health check if you have an on-going health condition or if you are over 75.

Temporary 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 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.

Named Doctor for all Patients

Following Government (NHS) requirements -

All patients have now been allocated

a Named Doctor.

This doctor will be responsible and accountable for coordinating the overall care you receive at the practice.

We have always registered our patients with individual doctors, but patients can see any GP within the practice. This will continue –

the doctor you see does not

have to be your Named Doctor.

Your Named Doctor may not be available at all times, so sometimes your care will be overseen by another GP on duty; especially at short notice or if your needs are urgent.

We will inform you of your Named Doctor at the first appropriate interaction with the practice. If you wish to know who your Named Doctor is, please ask at reception – please don’t phone the practice for this information.

If a patient expresses a preference for the GP they have been assigned, the practice will make reasonable efforts to accommodate the request.
