If you live within our practice boundary area, you can register by completing a GMS1 registration form and bringing along two forms of identification, one with photo ID and one with proof of address which will help the registration process. 

We ask that all new patients also complete a medical questionnaire and provide us with a copy of any repeat medication slips that are normally attached to your prescription, so that we can have an understanding of any medical problems or medication and an appointment will be allocated for you to attend the practice for a new patient check.

All new patients will need to sign a behaviour contract, this forms an agreement with the practice about the standards of behaviour we expect from our patients when interacting with the surgery, but also you will know what you can expect from us.

It would also help us if you know your NHS number which you can obtain from your previous GP surgery and we also recommend that you obtain 1 months medication from your previous surgery.

Forms are available from reception.

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.

The car park has dedicated disabled spaces by the rear health centre door, and is easily accessible. A wheelchair is available on request and an induction loop for patients with hearing difficulties.

The building has automatic doors to the front of the building and all rooms are located on the ground floor.

Our toilet facilities accomodate for wheelchair users.

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.
