How to register

We have an open list and welcome requests for registration from patients living in or moving to the practice area.

You can register by either:

You will have a named, accountable doctor who is responsible for coordinating your care. You can still talk to or make appointments to see any of our clinicians, not just your named GP.

If you are on regular medication you will need to obtain one month’s supply from your current practice before submitting your forms. All patients will be offered a new patients health check.

Temporary patients

If you are not registered with the surgery you will be unable to see one of our clinicians unless you have a serious emergency. In most other cases, calling 111 is a better option.

If you are not registered but need treatment at the surgery you will need to complete a temporary registration form.

You can be registered as a temporary patient for up to three months. This means you can be registered with our practice and remain a patient of your permanent GP. After three months you will have to re-register as a temporary patient or permanently register with our practice.
