The Practice follows government guidance when registering patients but also has its own protocols and policies in place to protect patients and the practice. We do ask that patients provide identification, proof of address and their NHS Number where possible. If it is not possible to do this then the process for registering may take a little longer. The practice has previously experienced cases of Identity theft when patients have registered, this caused disruption and delay to the service we offer and caused distress to staff and patients. Managing Identity theft is a difficult and a long process taking many hours of staff time to resolve,  therefore in order for this to not happen again we have implemented our policies and protocols for everyone who registers with our practice.

The NHS number can be obtained in the following ways:

Find your NHS number - NHS

An NHS number is a 10-digit number, like 485 777 3456. Your NHS number is unique to you. It helps healthcare staff and service providers identify you correctly and match your details to your health records.

Patients can find their NHS Number on any letter or document you have received from the NHS, including prescriptions, test results, and hospital referral or appointment letters. If you cannot find your NHS Number in these ways, you can ask your previous GP practice to help you

Patients who have no fixed abode or travellers can register at the practice. Please note these registrations may take a little longer to process bur be assured these applications will be dealt with in a timely manner so patients can access GP appointments appropriately. 

All new patients are offered a health check with a member of the healthcare team to ensure that any required tests are up to date and that we have an accurate note of any repeat medication you may be taking. Please note that all patients are required to attend the New patient Health Check Appointment. and any patients who fail to attend the New Patient Health Check will not be registered. The Practice has a policy on patients not attending pre booked appointments and patients can be removed from the Practice for DNA’s

 New Born Babies- To register a new born baby, it is essential that you provide the practice with the NHS number (this can be found in the front of your babies red book) along with a copy of the birth certificate. we ask that New Mums bring the Red Book to the Practice when attending the first Postnatal/Baby Immunisation appointment

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.
