New Patients

We are using a new online service called Register with a GP surgery that makes it easy to register with this GP surgery.

Just fill in this quick online form to start the process. You do not need proof of address or immigration status, ID or an NHS number.

The service is designed and run by the NHS, so your personal information is safe. It cuts our administrative workload and makes it easier for you to register.

A paper form is still available if you need one.

On registering as a new patient, you will be sent a letter inviting you in for a wellbeing health check. If you would like to book in for a health check, please call 01629 581586 to make an appointment, after registering with us.

Any patients who move address within the practice area are asked to notify the administration staff as soon as possible. Patients moving out of the 3 mile radius will be asked to register at a practice in the new area.

If you are ill and need medical attention while away from home  you can register as a temporary  patient up to 14 days at the 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.

If you are away from home and have forgotten your medication you can contact your own GP who hold your medical records and a prescription can be sent to a local pharamacy in the area you are staying.

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.
