How to Register
Acceptance on to the list is as at the discretion of the Doctor and we may ask you for proof of identity (please refer to our registration policy below and why we ask for this). Please note that your medical records may take several weeks to arrive at the Practice.
The practice has a non-discrimination policy for accepting new patients. There are a number of reasons why you may not be able to register with your chosen GP, for example, you may live too far away. If this is the case simply choose another GP in your local area. Our Practices cover patients registering in the IV36 postcode only.
It is important to note that you can only permanently register with a GP practice if you are staying in the area for more than 3 months.
Please note that if you were previously registered with a Doctor outside the UK then the Practice will not have access to your medical notes. All patients who register from abroad should contact their previous Doctor to obtain copies of their notes. Acquiring your previous medical notes is vital in providing continuity of care.
Register online or at the reception
Step 1: Download and complete the registration form
Download the form and either complete this electronically or print it and complete it by hand. You can also pick up blank forms from reception. The registration form collects your details, an outline of your medical history and records your preferences. This information will allow us to begin to provide you with medical services.
You can use the free Adobe Reader app to fill in and save your form electronically. We recommend you use a computer rather than a smartphone for this step as it is easier.
Step 2: Upload your completed registration form and supporting documentation
Please upload
- Your completed registration form
- Copies of two forms of identification.
You are also able to drop off your completed form and verify your identity at the reception desk
One form of identification must contain a photo of yourself, for example, your passport or Photocard Driving Licence, and the other must provide evidence of your current address.
