We are now part of the ‘Register with a GP surgery service – online’.
If you choose to register in person, you do not need proof of ID to register with a GP, but it might help if you have one or more of the following:
If you’re homeless, you can give a temporary address, such as a friend’s address, a day centre or the GP surgery address.
Please call the surgery to collect the appropriate registration details and forms for completion or download a registration form below. At this surgery, patients are seen by their preferred doctor, who will be agreed at the time of registration. Whilst the Practice will endeavour to comply with your request it may not always be possible. If this were to be the case an explanation would be offered. When your preferred doctor is not available, if appropriate, you will be seen by another doctor or health professional.
On registering, patients can book to see a health professional for a new patient appointment; patients on repeat medication must see their GP before the next repeat can be issued – please call the surgery on 01322 862121 or call in to make an appointment.
If you are also registering for online access to your record – then ID is essential as follows:
| Photographic ID (must be in date) | Confirmation of address ID (within the last 6 months only) |
|---|---|
| Current valid Passport | Utility Bill – not mobile phone |
| Current Driving Licence (UK) | Council Tax Bill |
| Bus Pass | HMRC document eg: P45/P60 |
| Student Card | Non-photographic driving licence |
| Biometric Residence Permit | Mortgage/Bank Statement |
Please bring a copy of your repeat slip to the surgery when you have been registered. The dispensary teams will add this medication to your record.
They will let your named doctor know, who will check to see if any blood tests are required.
Contacting the surgery- for results please phone after 15:00pm
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.
