Please allow at least 2 weeks to complete the registration.

We will request you to submit your ID and proof of address. However you will not be refused to register if you do not have access to this so please speak to reception for advice.

Registration Medical

If you have registered before with the NHS you will not be required to have a new patient health check. However if you are new to the country and never been with the NHS, please read on.

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.

ENGLISH How the NHS works infographic

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 you will need to be livings with someone who is registered with our surgery. For example if you have come down for a visit from another part of the Country.
