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.

We recommend that new patients undertake a health check with a practice nurse.

Temporary patients

If you are not registered with the surgery you will be unable to see one of our doctors 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.

Accountable GP

From 1st April 2015, practices are required to allocate all patients (including children) with a named accountable GP.

The named GP is responsible for the coordination and delivery of all appropriate services, where required based on clinical judgement, to each of their patients.

Patients do not need to see their named GP when they book an appointment with the practice.
Patients are entitled to choose to see any GP or nurse in the practice.

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.
To keep appointments or to let us know in good time if you are not able to attend, in order for the appointment to be offered to another patient.
To tell us immediately if you change your address or telephone number.

Accessing Someone Else’s Information

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 download or collect a proxy access form from reception from 8am to 6.30pm.

Linked profiles in your NHS account

Once proxy access is set up, you can access the other person’s profile in your NHS account, using the NHS App or website.

The NHS website has information about using linked profiles to access services for someone else.
