New Patient Registration (Over 16 - Adults)

Please check your post code here now to see if you are within our catchment area (opens in a new page)

Visit the terms of Out-of-Area Registration here

We do double check address details when registering patients to see if you are within our catchment area. If we notice you are outside of our catchment area, we will contact you to review and agree to the out of area policy before registering you. Failure to accept the terms within 72 hours of us contacting you means your registration will be automatically rejected. Review the out-of-area policy here

You do not have to provide your NHS number, but providing your NHS number can help us locate you easier on the system and prevent delays. If you don't know your NHS number; you can locate it here

You do not have to provide a copy of your ID to register with us, but sometimes we cannot find you on NHS spine. Uploading your ID now could help us find you on the NHS spine, which hopefully should prevent a delay in registering you.

What does "nominate a pharmacy" mean for me?

You must register each child separately - Please click here for the Children's Patient Registration Form (opens in a new window)

PLEASE NOTE: if you are out of the practice catchment area and trying to register with a child/ren 15 years old or younger, both your and their registration may be rejected *subject to assessment, as this is against our out-of-area policy. Please register with a GP practice closer to your home address, and whose catchment area you live.

It is your responsbility to ensure that the details for your Next of Kin (NOK) or emergency contact are kept up-to-date. You can do this anytime by submitting an admin KLINIK form or at your next appointment.

Please help us trace your previous medical records by providing the following information

Previously been registered with the NHS in the UK

Footnote: These questions are optional and your answers will not affect your entitlement to register or receive services from the NHS but may improve access to some NHS priority and service charities services

These are supplementary questions and your answers will not affect your registration with us

Anybody in England can register with a GP practice and receive free medical care from that practice.

However, if you are not ‘ordinarily resident’ in the UK you may have to pay for NHS treatment outside of the GP practice. Being ordinarily resident broadly means living lawfully in the UK on a properly settled basis for the time being. In most cases, nationals of countries outside the European Economic Area must also have the status of ‘indefinite leave to remain’ in the UK.

Some services, such as diagnostic tests of suspected infectious diseases and any treatment of those diseases are free of charge to all people, while some groups who are not ordinarily resident here are exempt from all treatment charges.

More information on ordinary residence, exemptions and paying for NHS services can be found in the Visitor and Migrant patient leaflet, available at reception. Alternatively for more information go to www.nhs.uk/nhs-services/visiting-or-moving-to-england

You may be asked to provide proof of entitlement in order to receive free NHS treatment outside of the GP practice, otherwise you may be charged for your treatment. Even if you have to pay for a service, you will always be provided with any immediately necessary or urgent treatment, regardless of advance payment.

The information you give on this form will be used to assist in identifying your chargeable status, and may be shared, including with NHS secondary care organisations (e.g. hospitals) and NHS Digital, for the purposes of validation, invoicing and cost recovery. You may be contacted on behalf of the NHS to confirm any details you have provided.

I declare that the information I give on this form is correct and complete. I understand that if it is not correct, appropriate
action may be taken against me.

A parent/guardian should complete the form on behalf of a child under 16.

Complete this section if you live in another EEA country, or have moved to the UK to study or retire, or if you live in the UK but work in another EEA member state. Do not complete this section if you have an EHIC issued by the UK.

Your information will be shared between your GP practice, our local hospital and Out Of Hours service. This will enable your GP surgery to access results and any visits you have at the hospital quickly and efficiently, but it also means that if you have an emergency and contact the Out Of Hours service or visit A&E they will have access to your current medications as well as allergies and are better able to treat you.
