If you are struggling to find a GP Practice please call the Patient Allocation team on 01634 335095 Option 6.
Those who are homeless, vulnerably housed or ‘of no fixed abode’, asylum seekers, refugees and overseas visitors, whether lawfully in the UK or not, are eligible to register with a GP practice even if they have to pay for NHS services outside of the GP practice
When you register we will ask you to complete a New Patient Questionnaire. If you are on regular medication we will book you an appointment with our nursing team for a New Patient Check. If you are over 40 and not on any medication we recommend booking a NHS Health Check.
