New Patient Registration & Practice Area
![logo1.gif](/website/G81050/files/logo1.gif)
We are currently taking on new patients who live within in our Practice catchment area. You can view our catchment area here.
Please note: to register as a New Patient your address will need to fall within the red, solid boundary. The grey, intermittent line denotes the boundary for existing patients whose registration we will honour if they move within that outer boundary. All patients who move outside of the outer boundary will be asked to register at a Practice closer to their new address. If you are unsure whether your address falls within our Practice catchment area, please telephone the Practice first to ensure we will be able to register you before completing any forms.
Your registration will be with the Practice rather than with an individual doctor; although all patients do have a named, accountable GP. We will allocate you within the Practice to one of the Doctors taking on new patients.
The registration process…
- You may call into the Surgery and pick up a registration pack or click on each of the items below to download the various forms included in a registration pack.
In response to concerns about fraud within the NHS we have been asked to check the following items for every adult requesting to register to help us confirm your eligibility to NHS services.
1. Photo ID – Passport or Driving License
2. Utility Bill – To confirm address in local area.
To protect you from Identity Fraud we also require your NHS Number to complete your registration. This should be completed on the purple GMS1 (underneath date of birth). If you do not know this please click here. We are unable to register you with this Practice until these items have been provided. The new style NHS number has 10 digits which are all numerical.
- Please bring these items to reception along with your completed registration forms. Your ID will be checked at reception and handed back to you. Please do not post these items to us – the Practice cannot accept responsibility for items lost in the postal system.
