Registration with the practice
Please be aware that we are currently only accepting new registrations from within our boundary area. Due to the expansion of the population in the local area we have have reached capacity in terms of the number of patients we have and are therefore unable to provide services to people who are not resident in our area.
Registration can take up to a week or more due to the number of new patient notifications received so if you need an appointment we ask that you complete your registration in advance. We also normally need to see proof of identification in order to register a patient for our online services although in certain circumstances we may be able to register you without the ID check. Identity documents can be a passport, driving licence, or official letter e.g. utility bill, bank statement. Once we have all the relevant information we are able to register a patient and obtain medical records from their previous surgery. We will also be able to register you with our online partner – Patient Access – so that you can make appointments and order repeat medication online. An email may be sent to your email address on your registration form to enable you to get started online.
If you are on any repeat medication you will need to see a doctor before you can re-order your medication. It will help us if you can supply us with your repeat medication slip or a note from your previous GP again this can be emailed to Towcester.Doctors@nhs.net. This will enable us to get the necessary details in place.
When you register with us you will be assigned a named GP but you are free to make an appointment with any doctor at the practice. If you would like to know who your named GP is please contact the surgery.
We encourage new patients to have a Health Check appointment with our Health Care Assistant.
You can download a paper registration form to print out, complete and hand into reception or complete the online form below.
