New Registrations Health Check

You will be asked to make an appointment with the Health Care Assistant who will ask you one or two details about your past health and present life style. This will benefit both the practice and yourself as it can take some time for your notes to be received from your former GP.

Temporary Residents

The Doctors are happy to see patients who are temporarily resident in the Practice area should medical advice be required. In this instance persons wishing to be treated should state that they are a temporary resident when reporting to reception.

Valid forms of Identification

To register we require photo identification (ID) (passport, drivers licence or European Union Identity card).

If you are homeless or of no fixed abode, then although it is helpful to have photo ID you can register without any.

Any other ID such as an HC2 Certificate, Rough Sleepers' Identity badge, Hostel registration or mail forwarding letter would also be helpful but again we will register you even if you don't have these. As we know it is more important that you can access health care when you need it.

If you are unsure on how to register, please ask at reception and they can help you to complete the registration process.
