Temporary Registration
We are using a new online service called Register with a GP surgery that makes it easy to register with this GP surgery.
Just fill in the quick online form to start the process. You do not need proof of address or immigration status, ID or an NHS number.
The service is designed and run by the NHS, so your personal information is safe. It cuts our administrative workload and makes it easier for you to register.
Paper forms are still available if you need one and can be downloaded here.
Contact our reception team here: 0151 546 2958
Other ways of registration
If you would like to join our practice without using online registration, you can contact our practice on 0151 546 2958.
The receptionist will ask for your address and confirm whether it is within the practice boundaries.
You will be asked to complete a registration form, which will include the name and address of your last GP and a health questionnaire. You will need to show a letter confirming your name and address as well a form of photographic evidence.
Once the documents are completed and accepted, you will be registered with the Practice. The receptionist will make an appointment for a New Patient Medical with one of our nurse.
Guide to GP Services
A Patient Guide to GP Services
The Royal College of General Practitioners has produced a useful guide for patients about the services on offer at GP Surgeries and how to access them.
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. Open the leaflets in one of the following languages

Temporary Registration
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.
