New Patient Registration
Register with the practice as a new patient
How to register
Check you live within the boundary area
To access our registration process, first check you are in our catchment area. If you have any questions about your eligibilty join this surgery please contact us.
New Patient Health Check
Once the registration process is complete, you will receive a confirmation letter from the registration department. When you receive this, please book in a new patient health check with a Healthcare Assistant.
Temporary services
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 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.
Your named GP
As part of a national programme, from April 2015 all practices are required to provide all their patients with a named GP who will have overall responsibility for the care and support that the surgery provides to them. Forum Family Practice operate personal GP lists and you as a patient will be informed of your named GP at the point of registration.
Your named GP will have overall responsibility for your care but it does not prevent or restrict you from seeing any other GP or nurse in the Practice.
