We welcome new patients who live within our practice area. As it often takes sometime for records to be forwarded from your former practice all newly registered patients will be asked to complete a registration form and a health questionnaire. You will be offered an appointment with our Nurse or Health Care Assistant for review of your long term condition or an optional New Patient Health Check for patients without a long term condition. 

Medical treatment is available from the date of accepting your registration. Please contact reception for further information.

PLEASE NOTE - YOU MUST ALSO COMPLETE A NEW PATIENT QUESTIONNAIRE. WE CANNOT REGISTER YOU WITHOUT THIS.

Please ask at reception for further information.

If you have just given birth, you will need your baby's NHS number to register him or her with the practice. This should be provided to you by the Maternity Unit or Child Health Department. You will need to fill in a GMS 1 form and your baby will be registered immediately.

If you wish to pre-register, please click on the links below to open the forms.

YOU MUST COMPLETE BOTH THE REGISTRATION FORM AND QUESTIONNAIRE FOR YOUR REGISTRATION TO BE ACCEPTED

Your application will be processed within 48 hours. (Monday to Friday)

When you visit the surgery for the first time you will be asked to sign the form to confirm that the details are correct.

This surgery does not prescribe long term Benzodiazepines or Z-drugs such as:

• Zopliclone
• Temazepam
• Zolpidem
• Diazepam

All new patients who have long term prescriptions for this type of medication from another surgery will be started on a reduction programme as these medications are only licenced for short term use.

Any Non-palliative patients joining the surgery on high doses of addictive opioids will be given assistance with step down doses, reduction plans or referred to specialist services.

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.

These fact sheets have been written to explain the role of UK health services, the National Health Service (NHS), to newly-arrived individuals seeking asylum. They cover issues such as the role of GPs, their function as gatekeepers to the health services, how to register and how to access emergency services.

Special care has been taken to ensure that information is given in clear language, and the content and style has been tested with user groups.
