New Patient Registration

If you wish to register as a  patient with the practice, you  must live within our practice area, provide photographic ID and proof of address. You will therefore need to attend in person and complete the relevant patient registration form as well as a questionnaire about health related matters. We are unable to provide online registration.

When you register with us we will arrange for you to attend our treatment room for a " mini medical" with the nurse. We will also give you an appointment to see a doctor.

Please note if you are from abroad further special paper work may be required to confirm your elegibility for NHS treatment. 

We provide General Medical Services as per 2004 GP Contract and a range of enhanced services as specified.

Guide to GP Services

The Royal College of General Practitioners has produced a useful guide for patients about the services on offer at GP Surgeries and how to access them.  You can download the guide below.

A Patient Guide to GP Services

The practice operates a zero-tolerance policy towards individuals who are verbally abusive or physically aggressive to staff or patients. 

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. Open the leaflets in one of the following languages

English	Urdu

Temporary Registration

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.
