Patients wishing to register at the practice must adhere to the following:

• Patients can register at the practice if they have moved into the area (see map below) or are at a location where the practice feels it can provide care.
• If patients live in the area and are already registered with a practice, they can be accepted if their address is nearer this practice rather than the one that they are registered with.
• If their address is nearer to the practice that they are registered with, then we suggest that the patient remains with their own doctor.
• The practice can accept patients whose families are registered with us.
• New patients will be asked to produce proof of identity and address before registering with us. Please attend the practice with both these documents and request a registration form at the reception desk. 

Medical treatment is available from the date of registration.  Please contact reception for further information.

If you are ill while away from home or if you are not registered with a doctor but need to see one you can receive emergency treatment from the local GP practice for 14 days. After 14 days you will need to register as a temporary or permanent patient.

You can be registered as a temporary patient for up to three months. This will allow you to be on the local practice list and still remain a patient of your permanent GP. After three months you will have to re-register as a temporary patient or permanently register with that practice.

To register as a temporary patient simply contact the local practice you wish to use. Practices do not have to accept you as a temporary patient although they do have an obligation to offer emergency treatment. You cannot register as a temporary patient at a practice in the town or area where you are already registered.

These fact sheets have been written to explain the role of UK health services, the National Health Service (NHS), to newly-arrived individuals seeking asylum. They cover issues such as the role of GPs, their function as gatekeepers to the health services, how to register and how to access emergency services.

Special care has been taken to ensure that information is given in clear language, and the content and style has been tested with user groups.
