New Patient Notice
If you live outside of our catchment area you will not be able to register with the practice.
Everyone is welcome in general practice – lack of ID will not stop you registering at our practice. We ask for ID if you would like online services but this is an optional element of your registration, and if you have no ID, we can complete additional checks with yourself in order to get this part set up. You DO NOT NEED to have ID - so please don't feel lack of this will cause a problem.
You can also register with the practice online through Patient Access. You will need to contact reception first to signup for this service.
If you are struggling to do this online, please call into the surgery where the reception team will give you a paper copy of the form for you to fill out and return. Should you require assistance with this, one of the team will be happy to help. We are aware that our patients have differing accessibility requirements and we are dedicated to providing a high level of service to all of our community.
Please try to fill out as much of the form as possible. If you leave out important pieces of information there may be a delay in your registration.
Please note as part of addressing health inequalities within different parts of our community, we ask some personal information regarding your protected characteristics to help us know our patient population. All of these include the option for you to not give this information – so if you feel that this is something you’d prefer not to answer, we have included the option to select “prefer not to say”.

If you are taking regular medication, it may be a good idea to obtain a copy of your full prescription from your previous surgery before you register with the practice. This will mean we have proof of your medications while we are still waiting for your records from your previous surgery.
