YOU CAN NOW REGISTER DIRECTLY ONLINE BY CLICKING THE LINK BELOW

When registering at the practice, we ask you to complete a short form with information about yourself, such as:

• Past medical history
• Medications (patients on repeat prescriptions should arrange to see a GP before these are due for re-issue)
• Allergies       

For some patients we may recommend a registration health check consultation with a member of the nursing staff. You will be advised of this upon your registration.

You may complete online registration forms below if you would prefer or you can attend the surgery and collect paper forms.

Please note that the Registration Form and New Patient Health Questionnaire must be completed in full before registrations can be processed.

If any further information is needed we will telephone you. 

All patients are assigned a "named GP" when registered. Patients can express a preference as to which GP they are assigned to should they wish to. This does not mean you can only see this doctor.

The Practice is now accepting registrations from 'Out of Area' patients - these registrations are subject to limited access to 'in area' services and are not entitled to Home Visits. 

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.

As a parent, family member or carer, you may be able to access online services for someone else using linked profiles. This is also sometimes called having proxy access. It needs to be set up by the GP surgery where you and the other person are both registered. You can then access the linked profile by using the NHS App or by logging in through the NHS website.

You cannot use linked profiles to get an NHS COVID Pass on behalf of a child or dependent. But you can find out about other ways to get an NHS COVID Pass for yourself or someone else.

The surgery controls what you can do within a linked profile depending on the level of access permitted by the patient. You may be able to book appointments, order repeat medications or view some or all of their GP health record.
