Registering with the surgery

To register with the surgery:

• fill out an online registration form
• visit reception when we are open and collect a paper registration form

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

We have signed up to the Doctors of the World Safe Surgeries protocol which promotes access to primary care for everyone, regardless of having a permanent address or ID.

Read about what it means to be a Safe Surgery.

We recommend that where possible you register for online access at the same time as you register at the surgery.

Please allow 5 working days for us to process your registration.

New patients registering with the Practice over the age of 5 are entitled to a check-up with the doctor. This involves discussing your past medical history, arranging your medication and contraception, and a simple examination including blood pressure, weight and analysis of your urine, please bring a urine sample with you.

Registration is with the Practice; however, we run a ‘Usual Doctor’ system for each patient where you will be asked which doctor you would most like to see. Occasionally one doctor’s list is full so you may be asked to register with an alternative.

We believe this policy fosters a close relationship, provides better continuity of care and reduces the possibility of both patients and doctors being uncertain about roles and responsibilities.

Of course, there may be times when you will be offered an appointment with another Doctor if the problem is extremely urgent or if your doctor is away.
