Register online
We are using an NHS online service called Register with a GP surgery that makes it easy to register with this GP surgery. This secure system will email us your registration form.
Just fill in this quick online form to start the process. You do not need proof of address or immigration status, ID or an NHS number.
The service is designed and run by the NHS, so your personal information is safe. It reduces our administrative workload and makes it easier for you to register.
Paper forms are still available if you need one.
Do you take regular medication?
To ensure the safe prescribing of your regular medication, it is essential that we have access to your full medical records. As there may be a delay in receiving these following your registration, we kindly request that you ensure you have at least one month’s supply of any repeat prescription item.

Important information regarding your NHS medical records – Summary Care Record
The National Care Record Service (NCRS) is the way in which health professionals now access the Summary Care Record (SCR). The SCR has not changed, it is just the way SCRs are accessed that has changed.
