New Patients

We like to see all new patients when they register as this ensures that no important details are overlooked.

Please bring your NHS medical card, your completed registration form and any other supporting documentation to our reception desk between 9.00am and 6.00pm and one of our staff will be happy to help you complete the registration process.

If you have lost your NHS medical card, please complete a new purple registration form - available from reception.

Why not register all family members at the same time?

Generally we can only accept patients living within our defined practice area.

Overseas Visitors

Free NHS Primary Care is normally provided by this practice to patients who live within the practice area (who may be registered as regular patients), and to visitors staying temporarily within the practice area and who live within the United Kingdom (who may be registered as temporary residents).   

Free NHS Primary care is thus offered to those who are "ordinarily resident" in the UK for a settled purpose.  According to NHS guidelines this means that "a person must have an identifiable purpose for his or her residence here and that purpose must have a sufficient degree of continuity to be properly described as settled".

An overseas visitor is someone not "ordinarily resident" in the UK, i.e. someone who is a short-term visitor, and whose remaining period of stay does not exceed 6 months. Free NHS Primary Care is not normally available to overseas visitors (with some exceptions – see information below).
