Everyone is welcome in general practice.

You do not need proof of ID, address, immigration status or an NHS number in order to register.

However it might help if you have one or more of the following:

• Passport
• Driving Licence
• Birth Certificate
• Rough sleeper's identity badge

If you're homeless, you can give a temporary address such as a friends address or a day centre.

We are using a new online service called Register with a GP surgery that makes it easy to register with our GP surgery. Just fill in the quick online form to start the process. The service is designed and run by the NHS, so your personal information is safe. It cuts our administrative workload and makes it easier for you to register.

Alternatively you can visit reception from 8am to 6pm and collect a paper form if you need one.

As a parent, family member or carer, you may be able to access services for someone else. We call this having proxy access. We can set this up for you if you are both registered with us.

To requests proxy access, please collect a proxy access form from reception from 9am to 5pm.

Linked profiles in your NHS account

From 1st April 2015, practices are required to allocate all patients (including children) with a named accountable GP.

The named GP is responsible for the coordination and delivery of all appropriate services, where required based on clinical judgement, to each of their patients.

• Patients do not need to see their named GP when they book an appointment with the practice.
• Patients are entitled to choose to see any GP or nurse in the practice.
