New Patient Registration

To register as a patient at this practice you simply need to bring in your medical card. This will have been sent to you when you registered at your old practice. If you cannot find this card, don't worry too much as we have forms you can fill in instead.

Providing you meet the relevant criteria, i.e. you live within the practice boundary, that there has never been any breakdown of relationships previously etc., there should be no reason why we will not accept your registration.

Patients are now no longer registered with an individual doctor but with the practice. However, please be advised that even though we will make every effort to give you an appointment with your usual doctor, this may not always be possible and there will be times when you are offered an appointment with another doctor. If you wish you may also request to see a different doctor to your usual doctor. You simply need to express this wish to the receptionist when booking your appointment and every effort will be made to comply with your registration request.

We are currently accepting new patients.

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.
