New Patients

Registration with the practice

If you would like to register with the practice please use the form below or visit reception.

Before coming to the practice in order to register you should first check that you meet the registration criteria which is as follows:

  • You must be resident within our catchment area
  • You must be intending to stay within the catchment area for a period of more than 6 months.
  • You must be entitled to free NHS treatment.

Any patient wishing to register will be asked to produce proof of address and if possible a medical card.

Once you have established that the above criteria has been met, the practice should be contacted in order for a ‘new patient interview’ appointment to be booked. A sample of urine should be brought to this appointment where a clinical receptionist will test it and also record height, weight, blood pressure, family and personal history. Should a doctors appointment be required, one may be made at this point.

Please take note that all registration requests are accepted at the doctors discretion and the practice has the right to refuse a registration request. Any refusal to a registration request will be given in writing.
