New Patient Registration

If you live in our practice area and wish to register as a patient at our surgery then we need certain information from you and each member of your family so as to be able to trace your previous medical records.

Below we advise you on how you may register:

1. You may call into the surgery bringing with you your NHS medical cards from your previous NHS doctor
2. You may call into the surgery without bringing with you your NHS medical cards from your previous NHS doctor. This may arise if you cannot find your cards or if you do not have any e.g. if you have recently arrived in the country. This is less preferable since it may take longer to trace your medical records and you will have to fill in more paperwork, so please find your medical cards if you can. 

3. You may print off a registration form, fill it out and bring it in with you on your first visit to the practice. Registration Form

Medical treatment is available from the date of registration, however all new patients are required to undergo a New Patient Check with a health care assistant within three months of registering. Please contact reception for further information.
