Registration Policy

Anybody in England, whether a resident or overseas visitor, may access primary care services at a GP Practice without charge. No documents are required to register with a GP; however, to facilitate the registration process we would request that two forms of identification are produced, ideally if possible, one should be photographic, and one must contain your address.

These documents maybe be used to confirm your details with our local Health Authority. This also helps to ensure the correct matching of your details to any existing NHS record, enabling previous medical records to transfer smoothly between practices. We appreciate your assistance in this matter.

Types of acceptable photographic evidence:

  • Passport
  • Drivers Licence

Other documents for proof of residency that are acceptable are:

  • Recent utility bill (within the last 3 months)
  • Council Tax document
  • Bank statement (name and address section only required)
  • Solicitors letter (clearly showing your name and address)

If you are unable to provide photographic evidence than we would request you provide one of the the above and one of the following:

  • Birth Certificate
  • Marriage Certificate
  • Divorce Annulment Papers

If you have any questions regarding NHS entitlement, or our Registration Policy, please contact the practice.
