Step 2: Complete a Patient Registration Form
Our online registration form will collect your details, a brief outline of your medical history and record your preferences. This information may be added to your record and will allow us to begin to provide you with medical services.
Step 3: Upload scan of Photo Identity
As part of the New Patient Registration and registering for Online Services please upload a copy of your photo identification (passport, driving license or European Union (EU) Identity card).
You can upload a copy of your identity with the ‘Upload Identification’ button below. If you prefer to submit your documents in person please speak to the reception team.

Temporary residents
The doctors are able to see patients who are temporary residents for a maximum of 3 months in our practice catchment area should they need medical help. In this instance persons wishing to be treated should state that they are a temporary resident when reporting to reception.
To register you will need to bring your photo ID (passport or GB drivers license) and a completed Temporary Resident Registration form (also available from reception).
Valid forms of identification (ID)
To register we require photo ID (passport, drivers licence or European Union (EU) Identity card).
If you are homeless or of no fixed abode, then although it is helpful to have photo ID you can register without any.
Any other ID such as an HC2 Certificate, Rough Sleepers’ Identity badge, Hostel registration or mail forwarding letter would also be helpful but again we will register you even if you don’t have these. As we know it is more important that you can access health care when you need it.
If you are unsure on how to register, please ask at reception and they can help you to complete the registration process.
Interpreting Services
If English is not your first language we can provide interpreting services to help with translation in your appointments. Find out more about our Interpreting Services.

Your registered GP is also your named accountable and your allocated GP. Your allocated GP will be responsible for the overall provision of your healthcare. You are entirely free to see another doctor at the practice.
All new patients are allocated a doctor at the point of registration.
If you are unsure of who is your named doctor please ask at reception.
