Join the Practice

Online Registration is not currently available. You may however print off and complete the registration form and Health Questionnaire from the links below and bring them to the practice on your first visit:

• New Patient Letter
• General Practice Registration Form
• Text Service Consent Form
• New Patient Health Questionnaire
• Patient Access - Application Form
• Patient Access - Terms and Conditions

You will be required to complete a General Practice Registration Form and to complete a new patient medical questionnaire. You will also be asked to provide proof of identity (e.g. passport/photo driving licence) and proof of residency (e.g. rent book/utility bill).

Medical treatment is available from the date of registration. Please contact reception for further information.

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 register as a permanent patient with the practice if you are still within the practice boundary area.

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.

These fact sheets have been written to explain the role of UK health services, the National Health Service (NHS), to newly-arrived individuals seeking asylum. They cover issues such as the role of GPs, their function as gatekeepers to the health services, how to register and how to access emergency services.

Special care has been taken to ensure that information is given in clear language, and the content and style has been tested with user groups.
