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.

How To Register With Us

Firstly, please check you live within our practice boundary; you can check this using the map below. If you have any queries about our practice area or your eligibility, please contact reception.

Once you have checked you live within our practice area, please complete the online registration form.

Alternatively you may print off a registration form, fill it out and bring it in with you on your first visit to the practice.


  • When you register you will also be asked to fill out a medical questionnaire at the surgery. This is because it can take a considerable time for us to receive your medical records.

Catchment Area

You will be asked to make an appointment for a New Patient check, so that we can get details of your past illnesses, family history and current medication. We will also check your blood pressure and test your urine, and may order other tests if appropriate. You may be asked to book an NHS Healthcheck instead of a New Patient Check.

Medical treatment is available from the date of registration. Please contact reception for further information.
All Patients registered with the surgery will have been allocated a named accountable GP who will be responsible for your overall care. However, you can book appointments with any of the GPs at the surgery.

If you have a preference to which GP you are allocated, the practice will make reasonable efforts to accommodate your requests.

If you wish to know which GP has been allocated to you, please ask reception at your next visit.

Further information on Named Accountable GPs is available here.

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

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; you can use the online registration form, or you can print the form and bring it to the practice. Both these options are avilable by clicking the buttons below.

  • 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.
