New patients will be asked to complete a registration form. The forms are below. Please ensure that you give us full details as it may take some time for your medical records to arrive from your previous doctor.

Please note we have “inner” and “outer” catchment areas. You may be offered a "non-visiting patient status", e.g. your address falls under our “outer” catchment area. For more information, please contact the surgery. 

Patients have a right to express a preference of practitioner however this may be dependent on availability. We do not discriminate on the grounds of age, sex, marital status, pregnancy, race, ethnicity, disability, sexual orientation, religion or belief. 

If you wish to register with our practice please bring along the following documentation:

• Proof of identification (photographic) and your passport. 
• You will also be asked to show proof of address, for example a utility bill, (although it is accepted that if you have just moved to the area you may not have this at the time of initial registration). If you are visiting from overseas other documentation may be required, the reception team will advise on the specific requirements.

To register with the practice please do one of the following:

• fill out an online registration form on the NHS website (link below).
• visit reception when we are open and collect a paper registration form.

If you live outside the practice boundary area please see here for details. 

You may also find this NHS guidance useful. 

Please note that if we agree to register you and you live outside of our catchment area, then you will be added on our patient list as a non-visiting patient and you will not be eligible for home visits. For more information please see the link above.

CONSENT FOR THIRD PARTY ACCESS – SHARING OF INFORMATION

There is a new Central NHS Computer System called the Summary Care Record (SCR). It is an electronic record which contains information about the medicines you take, allergies you suffer from and any bad reactions to medicines you have had.

Why do I need a Summary Care Record?

Storing information in one place makes it easier for healthcare staff to treat you in an emergency, or when your GP practice is closed.

This information could make a difference to how a doctor decides to care for you, for example which medicines they choose to prescribe for you.

Who can see it?

Only healthcare staff involved in your care can see your Summary Care Record. 

How do I know if I have one?

Over half of the population of England now have a Summary Care Record. You can find out whether Summary Care Records have come to your area by looking at our interactive map or by asking your GP.

Do I have to have one?

No, it is not compulsory. If you choose to opt out of the scheme, then you will need to complete a form and bring it along to the surgery. You can use the form at the foot of this page.
