Register as a New Patient
If you live in our practice catchment area, you will be able to register with the practice. You will need to complete a new patient questionnaire as well as one of our practice registration forms above. Please be advised we may contact you to verify ID.
Once you have been accepted as a patient, you may be notified by text message (if you have consented to receiving SMS messages) also your medical records will be transferred to the practice. Your medical records may take several weeks to arrive at the practice. Please use the questionnaire to inform us of any regular medication you take as once you are registered, you may need a new patient appointment. There are a number of reasons why you may not be able to register with your chosen GP. For example, you may live too far away. If this is the case, simply choose another GP practice to register with in your local area.
If you require additional support such as an interpreter, please inform reception staff who can arrange this for you.
Please be aware your registration request can take several days to process.

NHS England Guidance for Temporary Residents.
- Routine appointment- Contact your own GP surgery and ask for a telephone consultation
- If a face to face appointment is required you will be directed to the nearest Urgent Care Centre. This applies to all patients, including students at home from university for holidays and patients visiting from overseas. The nearest Urgent Care Centres are- Nottingham Urgent Care Centre or Loughborough Urgent Care Centre
- If you require a repeat prescription you will be advised to contact your own GP surgery and ask for a prescription to be sent electronically to the Pharmacy near you, Find a Pharmacy near you. If you have run out of prescribed medication and need some urgently while you wait for your own surgery to provide a prescription you can call 111 or visit a Pharmacy. For more information visit: NHS- Emergency prescriptions
You can receive emergency treatment from a GP practice for up to 14 days
Non-urgent advice: Temporary residents must reside within our catchment area
Getting Medical Care as a Student
It’s important to look after your health when moving away from home for the first time. This includes registering with a new GP and finding your local sexual health service.
If, like most students, you spend more weeks of the year at your university address than your family’s address, you need to register with the GP near your university as soon as possible. Most universities have a GP practice on campus and the doctors working there will be experienced in the health needs of students, if you are unsure you can enquire with your university.
That way you can receive emergency care if you need it, and access health services quickly and easily while you’re away.
This is especially important if you have an ongoing health condition, particularly one that needs medicine such as asthma, diabetes or epilepsy.
