Each patient that wishes to register is required to complete and submit a GMS1 Registration Form and produce two forms of ID. 

• Photographic ID e.g. passport or photocard driving licence
• Proof of address in the form of an up to date utility bill or bank statement 

If you do not have ANY form of photographic ID, an alternative form of ID must be provided.  

Change of Address 

Proof of your new address will be required in the form of an up to date utility bill, bank statement or other document (e.g. tenancy agreement or benefits agency letter) which shows your name and address. 

Change of Personal Details 

When changing a name a copy of your Marriage Certificate or Deed Poll will need to be provided. 

Nicknames and short versions of names cannot be used on our clinical system. Your name should appear as it does on your birth certificate or deed poll document. 

If your date of birth is incorrect on your records, we will require proof via either your passport or birth certificate before we can make any changes.

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.
