To be eligible to register at the practice, you must live within the practice catchment area.
Temporary Registration
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 emergency treatment. You cannot register as a temporary patient at a practice in the town or area where you are already registered.

Named GP
We are required to provide all of our patients with a named GP.
Your named GP is the GP who is responsible for handling your paperwork (prescriptions, letters, etc.), and has overall responsibility for the care and support you receive.
This does not prevent you from seeing any GP at the practice.
If you would like to know who your named GP is, please call on 01489 785 722 or ask at reception.
If you have a preference for your named GP, please ask at reception and we will make reasonable efforts to accommodate you.
Carers
A carer is a person who is in receipt of a carer’s allowance, or who is the main carer of an elderly or disabled person whose welfare may be at risk if the carer falls ill.
If you feel you are a carer, please complete the form here and send it to us by email or drop it back to reception.
If you have a carer, please let us know and we will add this to your medical record.
