New Patient Registration

You may register with the Practice so long as you are going to be living within the area covered by the practice for more than three months. Temporary registration is available for shorter periods if you need medical care. You will be asked to fill in a registration form. If you wish to have access to our online services you will need to provide us with valid photo ID. We ask that all new patients see the practice nurse for a "new patient check" when you have registered.

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 GP

We are now required under the General Medical Services  contract to inform all of our patients who their named, accountable GP is. This is usually your registered GP, although you can request to see any doctor in the surgery.

Seeing a doctor

You may express a preference as to which doctor you would like to see (in accordance with paragraph 18 of schedule 6 of the GP Contract). However we urge you to return to the same doctor for good continuity of care.  Please ask the receptionist for an appointment with the doctor of your choice, although not all doctors will be available on any particular day.
