Join The Practice

We are happy to accept new patients moving into our practice area. To register, you need to visit reception for the forms or alternatively you can complete the GMS1 form online.  All patients will also need to complete the New Patient Questionnaire. Online registrations can only be accepted when both forms have been received.  If you register using the online forms, you will have to bring Identification into the surgery prior to online access being activated.

Please ensure that you bring photo ID and an address ID when registering.  If you do not have the required documents, please speak to a member of the reception team.

If you require an appointment, once registered please speak to a member of our reception team.  If you are taking regular medication we can arrange an appointment with our clinical pharmacist to ensure continuity is maintained with your repeat medications.  

Please note students residing at Storthes Hall Campus should register at the University Practice.

Temporary Registrations

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.

Access

There is good access for the disabled to all of our consultation rooms. A designated parking bay is adjacent to the surgery entrance and the surgery has a ramp and wide doors to allow for wheelchair access.
