Registering with the surgery

When you register, it’s helpful to have your NHS number. You can use the NHS website to find your NHS number.
Registration medical
Once registered, make an appointment with our nursing team for a registration medical.
We invite all our new patients to see one of our practice nurses or our health care assistant. This appointment enables us to collect medical information before your medical records arrive. It is also the start of screening for other medical problems. Normally, you will need to complete a registration medical before seeing one of our GPs.
Temporary residents
If you are not registered with a doctor but need to see one, you can receive emergency treatment for 14 days. After 14 days you will need to register as a temporary or permanent patient.
To register as a temporary resident:
- download and complete a temporary resident form (PDF)
Please return the completed form to the surgery.
You can register as a temporary resident with a GP in England if you are in the area for longer than 24 hours but less than three months.
