Register as New Patient
We are using an NHS online service called Register with a GP surgery that makes it easy to register with this GP surgery. Newly registered patients with children under 5 years old are asked to provide us with details of previous immunisations your child may have had. It is extremely important that these are recorded in the patient’s record.
Just fill in this quick online form to start the process. You do not need proof of address or immigration status, ID or an NHS number.
The service is designed and run by the NHS, so your personal information is safe. It reduces our administrative workload and makes it easier for you to register.
Paper forms are still available if you need one.
Register with a Paper form
Would you rather register with a paper form? These can be collected from reception or download, print and completed and deliver to the practice in person.
Temporary Registration
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. 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.
Summary Care Record
The Summary Care Record (SCR) is an electronic record of important patient information, created from GP medical records. It can be seen and used by any authorised health or social care staff member who is directly involved in your care. This can prevent mistakes being made when someone is caring for you in an emergency or when your GP practice is closed. The SCR only contains limited information, i.e. current medications you are taking, any adverse reactions you may have had to medications and any allergies you may have.
If you are registered with a GP practice in England, your SCR is created automatically, unless you have opted out.
Including additional information in your Summary Care Record
You can ask your GP to add additional information to your record. This additional information can be particularly useful for people with complex or long-term conditions, or patients reaching the end of life.
For example:
· significant facts about your medical history – past or present
· information about any long-term conditions you have
· your immunisation history
· how you would like to be treated
· what support you might need
· who should be contacted for more information about you.
