New Patient Registration

If you live in our practice area and would like to register with us, please complete a registration pack which is available from reception or can be downloaded from the Pre-Registration tab.

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

Named GP

All patients registered or registering with the Practice have been/will be allocated a Named GP who will have overall responsibility for the co-ordination of their care.

This does not mean you have to see this GP for all problems or conditions, you may request a clinician of your choice. 

If you do not know who your Named GP is, then please ask any member of the Practice Team, who will be able to inform you.

Guide to GP Services

The Royal College of General Practitioners has produced a useful guide for patients about the services on offer at GP Surgeries and how to access them.  You can download the guide below.

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.
