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.

All new patients are invited to make an appointment to have a health check with our practice nurse.

Register With Us

To register with us, please check you live within our catchment area; you can do this using the map below.

Once you have ensured you live within our boundary, please print and complete the ‘New Patient Registration’ form. Once completed, please bring the form to the practice along with photo ID for each patient registering.

The practice aims to complete new registrations within 48 hours of receiving the completed paperwork.

Once you have been registered, the practice will contact you to make an appointment with either the Practice Nurse or Healthcare Assistant for a new patient health check. During this appointment they will carry out routine health checks to ensure our records are accurate and up-to-date.

You do not need to inform your old practice that you are moving, your medical records will be transferred to us once registration is complete, although this may not happen straightaway.

Registration forms are also available from Reception at the Practice.

Registering with a GP as a temporary resident – NHS – NHS (www.nhs.uk)

Details of any treatment you have will be passed  to your permanent GP surgery. They will add the information to your medical records.

To register as a temporary patient please call into the practice and complete the relevant registration form.

Please note appointments are offered on the same basis as our regular patients so you may not be seen straight away. If it is an emergency please speak to reception for advice.

Overseas Visitors

Those who visit the UK from overseas must pay for their care when they are in England.

In 2015 changes were made to how the NHS charges overseas visitors for healthcare so the NHS does not lose out on income for the services these patients have received.

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
