Register with us as a New Patient

The NHS online registration form collects your details, a brief outline of your medical history and a record your preferences. This information may be added to your record and will allow us to begin to provide you with medical services.

Please complete one form for each family member.

Register with a paper form

Would you rather register with a paper form? Download, print, complete and deliver to the practice in person.

You will need to supply us with proof of ID (any document with your name and address on), we can then take a copy of the original for you when you are attending in person. 

Non-urgent advice: When will registration be completed?

Once all the form has been received correctly filled in, registration will take 10 to 14 working days. We will be unable to supply medication until registration has been completed.

You will be assigned to a doctor who will be your Named Accountable GP. 

You will be added to the practice list, not an individual doctor. You can ask to be seen by any of the doctors in the surgery but it will not always be possible to see the doctor of your choice on a particular day or time.

Your NHS number is a 10 digit number, like 485 777 3456. You do not need to know your NHS number to use NHS services, but it can be useful to have it.

When you register, it’s helpful to have your NHS number. You can use the NHS website to find your NHS number.

Important information regarding your NHS medical records – Summary Care Record

The National Care Record Service (NCRS) is the way in which health professionals now access the Summary Care Record (SCR). The SCR has not changed, it is just the way SCRs are accessed that has changed. 

For more information about NCRS please see: National Care Records Service

Information for patients who wish to opt out of having a summary care record, including an opt out form is available here: Opting out

You can register with us if you are homeless or of no fixed abode but reside within the practice boundary. Further information can be found on the NHS website.

From 2020, adults in England will be considered potential donors unless they choose to opt out or are excluded. For more information please visit the Organ Donation NHS UK where you can also register your decision.
