Please provide two forms of identification - for adults this must include one form of photographic ID (passport, driving licence) and proof of current address such as a utility bill dated within the last three months. It is strongly preferred that this evidence is provided, but you can still register if it is not available to you.

• Please complete both forms as fully as possible
• Return the forms to the practice before 12 noon on any working day. We cannot process forms in the afternoon.
• Registration will be processed within 48 hours in the practice and can take 7 days for the Health Board to complete the process.
• Please bring photo ID and proof of address when returning the forms (if available).

New patients are invited to attend for a free health check with the practice nurse. Details are available from reception.

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.  You can download the guide below.

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.
