A machine is available in our waiting room for you to use there is no need for an appointment. Please use your current GP until you have recieved our welcoming notification.
If you are taking regular medication please obtain 1 months medication from your previous surgery to allow us time to add your medication to your notes. You must also bring a copy of your repeat prescription with you when registering.
Once the registration process is complete, we can apply to your old surgery for the medical records.
The online service is the quickest way to get you registered with our practice, however if you prefer to register using a paper form these are available at reception. On collection you will be offered an appointment with a receptionist to bring back your completed forms.
Summary care record-
The NHS in England introduced the Summary Care Record to be used in emergency care. The record will contain information about any medicines you are taking, allergies you suffer from and any bad reactions to medicines you have had to ensure those caring for you to have enough information to treat you safely. Your Summary Care Record will be available to authorised healthcare staff providing your care anywhere in England, but they will ask your permission before they look at it. This means that if you have an accident or become ill, healthcare staff treating you will have immediate access to important information about your health.
Once you are registered a summary care record will automatically be created for you. If you wish to opt out please contact the surgery after you are registered.
Your health record and sharing of information-
You will be automatically enrolled in the NHS data sharing programme. This will allow your record to automatically share with any other organisation that may be involved in your care and also allow any other organisation involved in your care to share your information with the surgery.
Please be assured that we would never share your information with an organisation not involved in your care. For more information regarding sharing please visit.

You can opt out at any time please contact the surgery after your registration is complete.
Temporary Patient 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.
