How Do I....
Register With The Practice?

New patients can now pre-register with the practice online. You MUST bring into the practice some form of proof of identity (original) and domicile before we are able to accept you as a regular NHS Patient.

If you wish to register with the Practice, please visit us and talk to our receptionists. It would be a great help if you could bring with you your up-to-date medical card. If you cannot find it, do not despair. Simply see our receptionist and ensure you can supply the following details:

• Full name, including previous names
• Date and place of birth
• Last address
• New address and postcode
• Last name and address of your previous doctor
• NHS number if known - not the same as your National Insurance number
• Identification document (original)
