Registering with the Practice

Our practice welcomes new patients. To register you will need to:

  • Please fill out our online registration form
  • Provide us with proof of address and some form of photographic ID (e.g. passport, driving licence)
  • Provide us with your NHS number (if you have one) – this can be acquired from your previous practice

When you join the practice you will be given a named GP. This is the GP who will have overall responsibility for your care whilst at the practice. If you wish to know who your named GP is, please ask at reception. If you have a preference of GP, please let us know and we will endeavour to comply with it.

Please note: this arrangement does not restrict in any way which GP you can see at the practice – you will be able to book appointments with any of our GPs regardless of who your named GP is.

If you are on regular medication please ensure you have at least 2 weeks prescription to avoid problems.

If you are unable to register online, please visit the practice to collect paper registration forms. These will take up to 7 days to process.

NHS Account Messaging Service

We use the NHS Account Messaging Service provided by NHS England to send you messages relating to your health and care. You need to be an NHS App user to receive these messages.

Further information about the service can be found at the privacy notice for the NHS App managed by NHS England
