Register at the Surgery
Registering with the surgery s easy. Simply pop into
the surgery and ask one of the receptionists to help you
register. All you will need to do is fill in a GMS1 form,
available from reception.
What you need to bring with you:
- You will need all your details as well as your previous address.
- Please bring a form of photographic ID. This could be a passport,
driving licence etc. If you do not have any of these, please
bring either an entitlement to treatment NHS card (for
immigrants) or 2 utility bills holding your name and
address.
Patients register with the practice, not an individual GP,
but still retain the choice where possible to request to see
an individual GP.
Registering as a Temporary Resident
You will need to register as a temporary resident if you
are in the area and need to see a doctor, but don't live in
the area, i.e. you are on holiday or visiting family.
You need to register as a temporary resident so that we
can send any medical treatment or notes to your own doctor,
which can then be added to your medical record, so it is
important that you fill in all the details required on your
Temporary Resident form.
To register as a temporary resident, all you need to do
is come into the surgery and explain that you are not a
patients, but need medication or to see the doctor. The
receptionist dealing with your requirements will then guide
you through the form.
What you need to bring with you:
- You will need all your address and personal details.
- You will also need to know the address of where you are staying while in
the area.
- A photographic form of ID for evidence of who you are is also
appreciated.
- The doctor and surgery you are registered with at home.
Patients from Abroad
Please note that some patients from abroad will need to pay
a fee for NHS services provided. We will inform you of this
if you need to pay.
