New Patient Registration

To register please follow these steps:

• Collect an application form from reception for each member of the family (or download one from the above Registering Online tab).  Complete all questions by using the guidance notes and return to the reception desk along with any identification papers that are required.
• You will be notified in writing by post within 14 days of your acceptance or, a reason for non-acceptance.  This reason will not be based on the applicant's race, gender, social class, age, religion, sexual orientation, appearance, disability or medical condition.
• All accepted patients will be offered an appointment with the nurse/ Health Care Assistant for a new patient check-up. This appointment gives us chance to record vital information about your health and medications while we await your medical records. You will not be registered until this appointment has taken place.

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.
