Registering with the Practice

Non-urgent advice: Registration

It is is important to note that you can only permanently register with a GP practice if you’re staying in the area for more than 3 months. If you move out of the practice area, you will need to register with a practice in your new area as soon as you move.

How to register:

  • fill out an online registration form
  • visit reception during surgery hours and collect /complete a paper registration form
  • download the forms
  • new born babies – please ensure the Registrar’s form is handed in with the registration form
  • until you are fully registered with the Practice, you will remain registered with your previous GP
  • we will not be able to issue any repeat prescriptions until we have received confirmation of your past medical history and medication from your previous GP. You should ask your previous GP for a supply of medication
  • the practice has a non-discrimination policy for accepting new patients. There are a number of reasons why you may not be able to register with your chosen GP, for example you may live too far away. If this is the case simply choose another GP in your local area.

Your medical records remain with your registered GP but we will provide you with full medical care while you are in the area. If you leave the UK for a period of more than three months the doctor is no longer responsible for your medical care and may not provide repeat medication in your absence.

If you are ill while away from home or if you are not registered with a doctor but need to see one, you can receive emergency treatment from our Practice for up to 14 days. After 14 days, you will need to register as a temporary or permanent patient.

If you are ill while away from home or if you are not registered with a Doctor but need to see one, you can receive emergency treatment from the local GP Practice for 14 days. After 14 days you will need to register as a temporary or permanent patient.

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 re-register as a temporary patient or permanently register with that Practice.

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.
