If you would like to register with the practice you will be asked to fill in a ‘New Patient Registration’ form.

Registrations take place Monday to Friday between 10:30 & 18:00.

You will also need to complete the NHS Family Doctor Registration form. This is a legal document which enables the Health Authority to allocate you to our practice and requires your signature, or your signature on behalf of the person you are registering.

You will be registered with the practice and not a specific doctor.

Change of Details

It is important that you inform the reception staff of any change to your name, address or telephone number (particularly mobile numbers).

Failure to do this may cause serious delay and confusion should we need to contact you.

New Patient Health Check

It is a NHS contractual requirement that all our new patients aged 18 and over are to attend a health check with our practice nurse prior to seeing a GP.

Guide to GP Services

The Royal College of General Practitioners has produced a useful guide for patients about the services on offer at GP Surgeries and how to access them. You can download the guide below.

Temporary Registration

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 treatment from the local GP practice for 14 days as a temporary patient. For emergency care please see our link on opening times which provides a list of emergency services in the local area.

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 permanently register with that practice.

Patients returning from university are requested to register as a permanent patient during the summer holiday season - July / August / September.

To register as a temporary patient 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.

The surgery does not offer a 'walk in service'.
