Please either call into the surgery or click on links below to access pre-registration forms. You will need to visit the surgery to sign any forms completed online.

Please note we also need two forms of identification (i.e. driving licence, passport, proof of address).

We offer large size print practice leaflets and forms for patients with a visual impairment. If you have any communication needs please let the surgery know and we will note it on your records.

Your registration will not be processed unless both GSM1 form and the relevant application form below is submitted.

In accordance with new NHS guidelines all patients will be assigned a named GP to oversee their medical care in conjunction with the rest of our healthcare team.

• The surgery has GP’s who work part time and for non-urgent problems we will endeavour that patients can see their preferred GP who may be different to the assigned GP.
• For urgent / emergency appointments then the on call GP will address your health needs

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.

These fact sheets have been written to explain the role of UK health services, the National Health Service (NHS), to newly-arrived individuals seeking asylum. They cover issues such as the role of GPs, their function as gatekeepers to the health services, how to register and how to access emergency services.

Special care has been taken to ensure that information is given in clear language, and the content and style has been tested with user groups.
