Accountable / Named GP for All Patients

How to register

Anyone residing within the practice area for more than 24 hours may register with the practice. If you would like to join the practice as a permanent patient you must bring proof of address (e.g.Utility Bill, tenancy agreement) with you when registering. If you would like to be seen by the practice as a temporary patient (this is for visitors to the area who will be staying between 24 hours and 3 months), you should bring proof of where you are residing. If you are residing with a family member or friend they should accompany you to the surgery with proof of address. You will then be given a registration form and a Patient Questionnaire to complete at the surgery.

Patients who are in the practice area for less than 24 hours can be seen as an emergency.

There is a separate form for Children 16 and under to complete - An adult member of the family can register them by providing the required information and signing the registration application on their behalf.

As a patient, you have the right to express preference as to which GP you wish to see. However, if you require an appointment and your preferred GP is not available, you will be offered an appointment with another doctor. If you still wish to see your preferred GP you may have to wait longer.
