Once registered, you have the right to see any of our doctors, but you may prefer one particular doctor so that you can receive a more personal service. We would encourage you to see your usual doctor for on-going problems.
Guidance is also available if you are relocating, please ask a member of our reception team.
Practice Boundary
Every practice is required to have a boundary (similar to a school catchment area) that defines the area that they are contractually bound to provide services for the population of.
Please click to locate our practice catchment map, this will indicate if your home address falls within our boundary and therefore eligible for registeration at our practice:Practice Boundary / Catchment.
If your address does not fall within our catchment area, sadly we are unable to register you with our practice. To locate other local GP surgeries to explore registeration please visit - NHS Choices - Your choices in the NHS - NHS (www.nhs.uk)
You should not be refused registration or appointments because you don’t have a proof of address or personal identification at hand. It is not considered a reasonable ground to refuse registration and the practice will support patients where proof of address or personal identification is not readily available. It is important for the practice to establish the address you are registered at is within the practice boundary therefore where there is a fixed address proof of address will be required. If you are an asylum seeker, refugee, a homeless patient or an overseas visitor, whether lawfully in the UK or not.
If you fall under one of the above mentioned patient groups, please download one of the ‘How to register with a GP’ patient leaflets below and bring it with you when you register with a GP practice. If you have problems registering with the practice, there is advice on what do to and where to go for further support.

Temporary Patient Registrations
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 for up to three months. This will allow you to be on the local practice list 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 that practice.
To register as a temporary patient simply contact the local practice you wish to use. Practices do not have to accept you as a temporary patient although they do have an obligation to offer or direct you to appropriate emergency treatment. You cannot register as a temporary patient at a practice in the town or area where you are already registered.

They cover issues such as the role of GPs, their function as gatekeepers to the health services, how to register and how to access emergency services.
