Register with us as a New Patient

If you live within our practice area, and would like to register with the Practice, please complete our Online Registration Form, or alternatively please take a printout of our downloadable registration form, to complete at home and bring it in with you on your first visit to the practice.

Each patient who wishes to register is required to complete and submit a Registration Form and produce two forms of ID.

• Photographic ID e.g. passport or photocard driving licence.
• Proof of address in the form of any up to date utility bill or bank statement.

If you do not have ANY form of photographic ID, an alternative form of ID must be provided.

A copy of our practice leaflet and accompanying information will be provided and you will be offered an appointment to meet your new doctor.

You have the right to express a preference for seeing a particular Doctor at the practice, and we will do our best to comply with your request.

• These new arrangements are voluntary for GP practices. If the practice has no capacity at the time or feels it is not clinically appropriate or practical for you to be registered so far away from home then they can still refuse registration. The practice should explain their reason to you.

•  Once you have decided to register with a GP practice away from your home address, you will need to choose a practice that is accepting registrations from outside of their traditional practice boundaries. You can find this information by contacting the GP practice directly. They may have this information on their practice website or on their practice leaflet but the best way will be to contact them by telephone and asking a receptionist.

• Because of the greater distance to your home, the GP practice may register you without the responsibility to provide you with a home visit when you are not well enough to go to the practice yourself.

• When you register with a practice away from home, without home visits, you will be given information about what you should do in those circumstances where you need to access care whilst at home.

• You may, if your circumstances change and it is no longer clinically appropriate or practical for you to be registered away from home, be asked to consider registering with a practice closer to home where your care may be better provided at that time.

•  Should you become too ill to attend your registered practice in person or your practice advises that they are unable to assist you over the phone, contact NHS 111 who will direct you to the right service for your needs.

Change of Address

You are able to change your address using our Change of contact Details Form Alternatively you can login to your Patient Access account and follow the ‘change contact details’ link.

Out of area patients

As a Practice there are boundaries that we need to adhere to and if as a current patient you notify us that you have changed your address and are no longer living in our catchment area, you will be given 28 days to register with a new GP Practice in your local area. By registering with a local GP Practice this will ensure that you receive the most appropriate care closer to your home.

Change of Personal Details

When changing a name either a copy Marriage Certificate/ Decree Absolute or a copy of the Deed Poll will need to be provided.

Nicknames and short versions of names cannot be used on our clinical system. Your name should appear as it does on your birth certificate or deed poll document.

If your date of birth is incorrect on your records, we will require proof via either your passport or birth certificate before we can make any changes.
