Permanent vs Temporary Registration
If you want to register permanently as a new patient with us to be your GP practice, you need to complete the permanent registration steps below.
If you are only visiting our catchment area temporarily and need to access GP services for issues that cannot wait until you return to your home, then you need to register as a temporary resident (alternatively it may be easier to resolve some issues such as prescriptions or minor illnesses by contacting your own practice or NHS 111).
Permanent Registration
We are able to offer you an online registration process. For full primary care services, your main home residence must be within our practice boundary to register at our surgery (see map below). We can also register you online as an out-of-area patient (see below)
You don’t need proof of address or immigration status, ID or an NHS number to fill out the form. This requires no trip to the surgery initially, but you may be asked to provide us with additional information and possibly attend a New Patient Medical with a practice nurse or have a Medication Review with a clinical pharmacist.
Please allow 7 working days for us to complete your registration process.
If you need medical advice quickly please contact our reception team on 01403 755246. Once we have completed the registration process you will be a patient of Loxwood Medical Practice and can access all of our services.
Out-of-Area Registration
Out-of-area registration can be useful if you want to register with a practice that you prefer but is outside the normal boundaries. It it can be useful if you are studying at university and returning home out of term time, or if you work locally, or if you simply prefer to register with us. You can still use the online registration process to join us as an out-of-area patient..
Many consultations and services can be delivered remotely by telephone or electronically, including sending prescriptions to your local pharmacy – however it isn’t suitable for everyone (especially if you have complex health needs) and our team will review your application before completing registration.
