- Please note that you are registering with the practice and not a particular GP, however if patients express a preference for a particular doctor we will endeavour to help.
- New patients to the practice will need to provide identification and proof of address as part of the registration process. A current passport or photo driving license will be accepted for identification and a recent utility bill (within the last three months) for proof of address.
- For children, a birth certificate will be accepted where a passport is unavailable.
- Please bring details of any medication you are currently taking with you to your appointment.
- It can take up to 5 working days for your registration to be processed. We cannot provide any medical care in the meantime. We do not generally notify you once your registration has been processed.

Registering with a GP as a temporary resident – NHS – NHS (www.nhs.uk)
Details of any treatment you have will be passed to your permanent GP surgery. They will add the information to your medical records.
Overseas Visitors
Those who visit the UK from overseas must pay for their care when they are in England.
In 2015 changes were made to how the NHS charges overseas visitors for healthcare so the NHS does not lose out on income for the services these patients have received.
Travelling Abroad
By law, the NHS ceases to have responsibility for the medical care of patients when they leave the UK. People traveling within Europe are advised to carry an authorised European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) at all times and this gives entitlement to reduced cost (and sometimes free) medical treatment. Patients should be advised to check specific entitlements prior to travel.
- For patients who will be out of the country for less than 3 months, it is reasonable to provide sufficient medicines for an existing condition (i.e. asthma, diabetes)
- For patients leaving the country for more than 3 months, they should be advised to register with a local doctor for their continuing medical needs. It is reasonable for GPs to provide sufficient medication to give patients time to do this.
GPs are not required by their Terms of Service to provide prescriptions for the treatment of a condition that is not present and may arise while the patient is abroad. Persons who have left the UK, or who are intending to leave the UK, for more than 3 months are not normally allowed to continue to be registered with a practice.
The NHS accepts responsibility for supplying ongoing medication for temporary periods abroad of up to 3 months. If a person is going to be abroad for more than three months then all that the patient is entitled to at NHS expense is a sufficient supply of his/her regular medication in order to get to their destination, where they should then find an alternative supply of that medication.
