New Patients

Quote / Testimonial:
The doctors welcome new patients who live within our practice area. If you move out of the practice area you may need to register with another practice.

All new patients are invited to make an appointment to have a health check with our practice nurse.

Register With Us

To register with us, please check you live within our catchment area; you can do this using the map below.

Once you have ensured you live within our boundary, please complete the online ‘New Patient Registration’ form.


Alternatively you can register at the practice by printing and completing the ‘New Patient Registration’ form and the relevant ‘New Patient Questionnaire’.

Once completed, please bring the forms to the practice.


Registration forms are also available from Reception at the Practice.


You should normally be registered within 2 working days.

Please ensure that if you are on any medication, that you have at least 2 weeks’ supply at the time of handing the forms in.

Once you have returned the form, it will be given to one of the doctors who will sign it agreeing to accept you as a patient. If the doctor refuses to sign the form (the most likely reason for this would be that you do not live in the practice area) then we will not be able to accept you as a patient of the practice, but we will help you with any urgent medical attention you require.

Once you have registered with the practice, the local Primary Care Trust will be informed and your medical records will be requested from your previous GP. Please note that it may take several weeks for us to receive your old medical records. You will also receive a medical card from the Primary Care Trust showing that you are registered with one of the doctors in the practice.

Please note that you may see any doctor within the practice not just the doctor you are officially registered with.

Registering with a GP as a temporary resident – NHS – NHS (www.nhs.uk)

Details of any treatment you have will be passed  to your permanent GP surgery. They will add the information to your medical records.

Overseas Visitors

Those who visit the UK from overseas must pay for their care when they are in England.

In 2015 changes were made to how the NHS charges overseas visitors for healthcare so the NHS does not lose out on income for the services these patients have received.

Find Your NHS Number

Sometimes when filling in online forms or speaking with our staff, you may be asked for your NHS number.

This online tool will help you find your number if you do not know it.

Please Note

You do not need to know your NHS number to use NHS services, but it can be useful to have it.

Other ways to get your NHS number

If you cannot get your NHS number online you can:

  • find it on any letter from the NHS like a prescription or appointment letter
  • call your GP surgery and ask them for your number
