New Patients
How to register
If you live within our practice catchment area and wish to register as a patient, please complete a registration form:-
- GMS1W form - please complete all areas of the form which are relevant to you. Once you have completed your form, please ensure that you sign the bottom left hand corner before submitting to the practice (we cannot accept unsigned forms).
- New patient questionnaire - this form must also be completed fully before returning to the practice.
Alternatively, if you do not have access to a printer, you can collect a copy of our registration pack from Reception.
Once you have completed the above forms, please submit them to our reception team along with photographic proof of identity (Passport, driving license etc) and a current utility bill or bank statement with your address. Please note these are not retained or copied in any way and are for confirmation of identity only.
If you take any routine medications please ensure you obtain a month's supply from your present GP practice and provide a copy of your repeat prescription with your registration form.
- Your NHS number - This is a 10-digit number, such as 456 789 1011. Your NHS number can be located on most documents sent to you by the NHS such as hospital clinic letters, prescriptions, hospital appointment letters etc. If you are unable to locate your NHS Number, please contact your previous practice who will be able to advise.
