Before filling out a registration form, check you are in our catchment area.

Find out which GPs you can register with on the NHS website.

To register

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 when registering online.

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.

Paper forms are still available if you need one.

To ensure we can contact you through your preferred choices please ensure your details are up to date. Where possible we would like to have details of your next of kin or emergency contact preferences.

Change of Personal Details form

As a parent, family member or carer, you may be able to access services for someone else. We call this having proxy access. We can set this up for you if you are both registered with us.

To requests proxy access, please collect a proxy access form from reception from 9am to 5pm.

Linked profiles in your NHS account

From 1st April 2015, practices are required to allocate all patients (including children) with a named accountable GP.

The named GP is responsible for the coordination and delivery of all appropriate services, where required based on clinical judgement, to each of their patients.

• Patients do not need to see their named GP when they book an appointment with the practice.
• Patients are entitled to choose to see any GP or nurse in the practice.

If you are away from home and need to see a GP, you can contact any GP surgery close by.

You can receive emergency treatment from a GP surgery for up to 14 days – for example, if you fall ill while on holiday. Please note there may be a charge for some overseas visitors.

If your treatment is likely to last longer than 14 days, you’ll be asked to register at the practice, either as a temporary or permanent resident.

You can register temporarily with a GP surgery while away from your main home for work, study or on holiday. This means you will remain registered with your permanent GP surgery.

You can register as a temporary resident if you’re in the area for longer than 24 hours and up to three months. After three months, you will have to apply to register with that surgery as a Permenant Resident.

The temporary GP surgery will pass details of any treatment you have to your permanent GP surgery. They will add the information to your medical records.

How do I register as a temporary patient?

• find a GP near where you are staying or living
• ask at the surgery for a temporary resident form or download and complete a GMS3 form
• once you have completed the forms, please scan or take a photo of them and email them to the surgery. Or you can bring your completed forms to the surgery along with your proof of identity for verification.

What information do I need?

Try to have the following information with you when you see a temporary GP for the first time:

• details of any medical conditions you have
• details of medical conditions you’ve had in the past
• the name of any medicines you’re currently taking
• details of anything you’re allergic to
• contact details for your permanent or previous GP surgery
• your NHS number.
