HOW DO I....
REGISTER WITH THE PRACTICE?

Anyone wishing to register with the practice will need to provide us with the following documentation:

  1. Fully completed application form, either medical card or a GMS 1 (available from reception).
  2. Fully completed new patient questionnaire.
  3. Evidence of identity, eg passport, photo driving license, visa (where necessary), National Photo ID card, birth or marriage certificates.
  4. Evidence of address and settled status, eg utility bill, tenancy agreement, bank statement, mortgage statement or council tax bill.
  5. Mobile phone bills will not be accepted.

Patients Entering The Country For The First Time

Patients registering for NHS treatment for the first time must provide evidence that they intend to stay in the country for six months or more. This can be one of the following:

  1. Work permit or supporting letter from employer or education provider (for students).
  2. Passport (or National Photo ID card if from an EEA country).
  3. Visa (not applicable if from an EEA country).

The application takes 48 hours to process after which time you will be able to make appointments with the doctors or practice nurse.

You will be registered with the practice as a whole rather than an individual doctor, but you may choose to see whichever doctor you prefer. We make every effort to help patients with a disability to access our services, but if you believe we can do better, please do not hesitate to let us know.

Please note that it may take some time for your medical reports to reach us from your previous GP.
