Join the practice

Anyone wishing to register with the practice must be living in the practice area. Application forms are available from reception. You will also be asked to complete a questionnaire about your medical history and any current medication to assist clinicians until your records arrive from your previous doctors.

New patients are invited to book an appointment with a nurse for a health check. Under the new contract all new patients are registered with the practice and not an individual doctor. We have notice boards in the reception area which display our opening times and current information.

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.
