New Patient Registration
The quickest way to register with the surgery is online or using the NHS APP. You will be asked to fill out a medical questionnaire and the registration process will then be completed within 48 working hours. You will receive a message from us to confirm your registration is complete and we will inform you of your allocated usual GP.
Catchment Area
If you would prefer not to register online, the registration form can be downloaded on our website, or you can collect a form from the surgery reception.
Non-urgent advice: Important
Out of area patients
Registering with a GP surgery outside your local area can affect the NHS services that you can access including:
- Community services, such as physiotherapy and midwife appointments.
- Home visits and urgent care from your GP, including out of hours care.
- Out of area patient registrations will be reviewed on a case by case basis.
Registration may be refused if it is deemed clinically or practically inappropriate for you to be registered here, due to it being detrimental to your ongoing care and support.

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.
