Proof of identity
Patients over the age of 16 years can have online access to their medical record and additional facilities such as ordering repeat prescriptions and the booking of some appointments. We require proof of identity to be able to give you online access to your medical record. At the time of registering or applying for online access, please supply proof of identity and of current address.
PLEASE NOTE: these should be separate documents, for example we cannot accept a driving licence as both photographic ID and proof of address. Acceptable documents can be:
👉 Photo ID: passport or photo driving licence
👉 Proof of address: bank or other financial statements, but not bills
If you are registering more than one person
For multiple or family registrations you need to complete a registration for each person before submitting them all at once. If you are registering children under the age of 16 years it is important that you register yourself first.
New patient check
Newly registered patients are invited to arrange a consultation with a healthcare professional – this is an opportunity for us to obtain important background medical history prior to your medical notes arriving. When you come for your medical please bring along a small specimen of urine. We do need to have your details logged onto our computer system before you are seen for an appointment.
Out of practice boundary area registration
Unfortunately we do not offer registrations to people who work in the area but live outside our catchment area. Registration is strictly based on your residential postcode, you will be asked to bring in proof of address by way of a bank statement, utility bill or tenancy agreement from the last three months. In emergencies please contact NHS 111 in order to be seen by a practice closer to where you live.
For further information about this type of registration, please contact us.
Temporary residents
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 if you are in the area for longer than 24 hours and up to three months. This will allow you to be on the local practice 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 the surgery.
To register as a temporary resident you will need to complete a temporary resident form.
Please return the completed form to the surgery.
