Register with our practice
What you need to register with a GP surgery
You’ll only be asked to give basic information to register with a GP surgery. This includes your name, date of birth and address.
You do not need ID, proof of address or proof of immigration status.
Having an NHS number can make it easier to find your medical records, but you do not need one to register.
As part of registering you’ll also be asked for:
- the name and address of an emergency contact
- the name and address of the GP you’re registered with now, if you have one
- the name and address of your carer, if you have one
Sometimes, a GP surgery may ask for extra documents or details for other reasons, like helping to find or transfer your medical records, or to prove you’re the parent or guardian of a child you’re registering.
Information: If you do not have a permanent address, you can register with a GP surgery using a temporary address or the address of the GP surgery.
You register online using the Online Registration link below or if already registered with a practice, via the NHS APP.
Other ways to register with a GP surgery
You can also register or change GP surgery by:
- going to the surgery to register with and filling in a paper form
- downloading the register with a GP surgery paper form, filling it in and taking it to the surgery you want to register with.

• You can search for your postcode by clicking the magnifier in the top right corner of the map, this will indicate whether you live within the boundary or not.Access to Health Records
As from 2nd August 2023 new patients joining the surgery will automatically have full forward access to their GP health record from the date they register with us.
This can be accessed via sign up/login to the NHS App. Patients should not need anything from the surgery as the relevant identity checks can be completed via the NHS App.
If a patient cannot verify their identity through the NHS App, they will be asked to contact the surgery.
In this instance they will need to complete an Online Medical Record Access Form and upload a photo of themselves holding their photographic ID and upload their proof of address. Please visit our Access to your GP Records page for more information or to complete an Online Medical Record Access Form.
