Register as New Patient

If you live within our Practice area and wish to register click on the link below to open the forms. When you have completed all of the details, click on the "Submit" button to mail your forms to us.

When you visit the surgery for the first time you will be asked to sign the form to confirm that the details are correct and provide us with photo ID to verify your identity. 

Please note once you click "Submit" your registration will be sent to us.  We will not contact you to confirm receipt of your registration.  If you are unsure whether your registration has been received successfully please contact a member of the reception team on 01642 851177 who will be happy to help.

If you do not complete these online you will be asked to do this in person when you visit the surgery.  We would also advise you may be contacted by our Reception team to make an appointment with one of our nurses to arrange an appointment for a New Patient Health Check.

Accountable / Named GP for All Patients

All patients registered at the practice have a named doctor who has overall responsibility for your care and support. 

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.

Non-English Speakers

These fact sheets have been written to explain the role of UK health services, the National Health Service (NHS), to newly-arrived individuals seeking asylum. They cover issues such as the role of GPs, their function as gatekeepers to the health services, how to register and how to access emergency services.

Special care has been taken to ensure that information is given in clear language, and the content and style has been tested with user groups.

Disabled Patient Facilities

The Practice building has been designed for disabled access. 

The changes to access arrangements for our disabled patients have now been working successfully for several years. You will find automatically opening doors in the main areas and reserved parking bays in front of the building.

We would ask that you let us know if you need help as your disability may not be a visible one. We would also welcome any suggestions you may have in making your visit to the surgery easier.
