Proof of identification ensures that we match new patients to their previous surgery, ensuring the smooth transfer of your medical records. However, everyone has the right to free healthcare and if you do not have proof of identification or address we will can still register you.

On receipt of the registration forms, we will start the registration process for you and if needed, send you an invitation to make a registration appointment.

We allocate a 'Named, Accountable GP' to all of our registered patients. This GP will oversee any associated paperwork or test results. There may be occasion when, without prior notice, the practice may need to change your named, accountable GP. Please be assured that this has no effect on appointment availability, your treatment, or which of our clinicians you see. You are also not restricted to seeing your named, accountable GP, and are welcome to request any member of our healthcare team of your choosing.

Please ask a member of our reception team if you would like details of your current named, accountable GP.

Temporary Patients

We offer our services to individuals residing within our practice area for less than 3 months. If you are temporarily living in the area and require immediate or necessary care, please call us for further information and details on completing a temporary resident form.
