You can use your postcode or location to check that you’re within the surgery’s catchment area. 

Check your postcode on the Find a GP page on the NHS website 

Please note that our boundary has recently been amended and Sherford no longer forms part of our practice catchment area.

You can find guidance and advice on how to become a new patient and the NHS healthcare services you can access, if your first language is not English, or if you’re an asylum seeker on the Government website. 

Go to the NHS entitlements migrant health page on the Government website.

If you are away from home, you can register as a temporary resident for up to 3 months. This can be helpful if you’re living away from home but do not want to change your home GP.

To register you will need to fill in a temporary services form (GMS3). Please speak to our Reception Team for more information.

Children under 16 need to be registered by their parent or guardian. You can do this by completing the online GP surgery registration form on their behalf. You will need to provide a form of ID to prove that you’re their parent or guardian.

If you are a carer of young children, elderly adults or adults who aren’t able to register themselves, you can set up an account on their behalf. This will allow you to book an appointment and access parts of their GP online services account.

If you are moving house, please let us know as soon as possible. If you are moving out of the surgery’s catchment area, you may be asked to register with a surgery that’s closer to your new home address.

You can contact us online to let us know about a change in your address.

Please also let us know if your telephone number or email address changes.
