New Patient Registration

To register as an NHS patient you must provide proof of entitlement to NHS treatment along with proof of address, then complete the necessary registration paperwork and have a healthcheck with the practice nurse.

If you live outside our catchment area (see tab Practice Catchment Area) we are unable to accept you as a patient.

You can be registered with any doctor and will be able to see the doctor of your choice, subject to availability.

Please note that you must be residing in the UK for longer than six months to be entitled to NHS care and bring proof of residency at the time of registering*. 

*

(a) Either

An NHS medical card with full details of your current NHS practice; or

A current passport/visa entitling the holder leave to remain for a minimum period of six months from the current date.

ALSO 

(b) Proof of address in the form of a utility bill (gas, electric, council tax or telephone (although not mobile) no more than three months old;

or a current rental agreement;

or a letter from the relevant authority confirming employment status/student status as appropriate.

Please Note:  We will not be able to register you without your previous GP details, previous address, previous surname (if appropriate) and date of entry to UK (where applicable).

Process

On this website you will find an NHS pre-registration form which must be completed in full for each person registering with us; you will also be asked to complete additional paperwork by the receptionists when coming into the surgery to provide proof of residency.  The receptionist will then ask you to make an appointment with a practice nurse for your healthcheck - this is simply a time when we can take the opportunity of meeting you and entering your past medical history and current details on the computer so we know a little about you prior to receiving your full medical records.
