You can also visit reception from 10am to 6pm and collect a paper registration form.

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

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. You will need to register as a temporary patient and can be seen if there is availability only but not as a walk-in. 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.

Overseas Visitors

For guidance on overseas visitors please visit the government website for further information.

The surgery provides all patients with a named GP who will have overall responsibility for the care and support that our surgery provides to them.

We need to divide our patients evenly between both doctors so they can manage their workload.

We know that some patients will wish their named GP to be a particular doctor. When a patient expresses a preference as to which doctor they have been assigned, the practice will make reasonable efforts to accommodate this request. Your named GP will not be available at all times and so you may be offered an appointment with an alternative healthcare professional or locum GP.

You do not need to take any further action and will be informed of your named GP in due course. In the meantime, if you wish to be told the name of your registered GP, please ask the receptionists when you are next in the surgery.

As a parent, family member or carer, you may be able to access services for someone else. We call this having proxy access.

We can set this up for you if you are both registered with us.

To requests proxy access please visit the Practice with photo ID so we can confirm your identity.
