New Patient Registration
Safe Surgeries
We are proud to be a 'Safe Surgery' for everyone in our community.

Please look at the detailed Safe Surgery guidance below.
Armed Forces veteranfriendly accredited
GP practice
We are an Armed Forces veteran friendly accredited GP Practice
This means that, as part of the health commitments of the Armed Forces Covenant, we have a dedicated clinician who has a specialist knowledge of military related health conditions and veteran specific health services. This is important in helping ex-forces to get the best care and treatment.
If you are ex-forces, please let your GP know to help ensure you are getting the best possible care.
Your Named GP
You will be registering with the practice rather than an individual GP. However, every patients at has a 'Named GP' responsible for their overall care at the surgery. Ask us about this when you register. You can book your appointments with a GP of your choice but we recommend that wherever possible you try to see the same GP for ongoing problems. If you prefer a particular type of doctor e.g. female for a female patient we will note this and do our best to respect your choice.
To register as a new patient at the practice please follow the numbered process below.

If you have concerns about registering
Temporary Services
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 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.
