Find out with GPs you can register with on the NHS website.
To register with the surgery:
- fill out an online registration form
- visit reception from 8am to 6.30pm and collect a paper registration form
When you register, it’s helpful to have your NHS number. This is your unique ID number linking you to your medical records. You can use the NHS website or find your NHS number here.
However, you do not need proof of address or immigration status, ID or an NHS number to register at the practice.
The Practice is able to refuse your application on fair grounds e.g. if you live outside the practice area, or has a “closed list”.
New patients must attend a new patient health check with the healthcare assistant to help us provide the care you require.
Medical treatment is available from the date of registration. Please contact us for further information.

- You have a right to choose a GP within the practice either for one appointment or generally, but this may mean you will have to wait longer for an appointment. Also, the GP may refuse to see you if there are reasonable grounds, or you could be asked to see another GP if you are requesting a particular service which is provided by another clinician within the practice.
- You have a right to an appointment, regardless of whether or not you have been seen within the last 3 years (12 months if over 75).
Your Responsibilities as a Patient
- To treat all staff with respect.
