We welcome all new patients who live within our catchment area; please enter your postcode below to find out whether you live within our catchment area and eligible for registration.

Catchment Area


Register as New Patient

We believe that good primary medical care depends on the doctors knowing the whole family. We would therefore, where possible prefer to register all members of a household at the time of initial registration.

In order to get registered with our practice you will need to:

Provide us with your NHS Number

Your NHS number is unique to you. It helps healthcare staff and service providers identify you correctly and match your details to your health records.

If you are unsure of your NHS number, please click here.

Complete The Registration Forms

To register, please click the relevant link below, complete the form and submit for registration. Submitted registrations will be sent directly to our team.

You will also need to provide a proof of ID and a proof of address. 

Our reception staff will assist you with the registration process if you have any questions.

Non-urgent advice: Please Note

If your home address falls outside of our practice’s catchment area, your registration will be rejected. If there are queries regarding your registration, we will try to contact you to obtain the relevant information. Your registration may be delayed if we are unable to contact you.

Provide proof of ID and Address

If you’re using a paper registration form, please return your completed and signed registration forms when the surgery is less busy – ideally between 11:00 – 12:00 or in the afternoon so that our staff can fully answer any questions you may have, ensure your registration forms are completed correctly and check that your documentation is valid.

We ask for:

  • Proof of address: a utility bill, council tax, bank or credit card statement.
  • Proof of identity: a passport, full driving licence, or a birth certificate. NHS card if you have one – this may help expedite the process of registering with our practice.
  • Immunisation record – such as the red book – if you are registering a child with our practice.

Attend a New Patient Health Check

You will need to attend an initial health check appointment with our health care assistant once you have returned the completed forms to us.

Our health care assistant will ask you about your medical history and carry out an examination for height, weight, blood pressure.

Non-urgent advice: Please Note

You will need the have a completed new patient health check before seeing a GP.


Temporary Patient Registrations

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.
