New Patient Registration

The doctors welcome new patients who live within our practice area (Bury). 

Drop into the Practice and pick up a registration form. As part of the registration process you will be asked to attend for a new patient check.

Security of your medical record is important to us, and you will therefore need to bring:

• Proof of identity such as your passport, photo card driving license etc.
• Your NHS medical card from your previous NHS doctor. If you do not have this because you have lost it or because you have recently arrived in the country we can still process your registration but it may take longer to trace your medical records and you will need to fill in more paperwork

You can register online. Click on the Registering Online tab above. You will need to do this for yourself, and any other members of your family which also want to register.

When we receive your details we will complete the paperwork for you and contact you for your signature and to arrange registration.

We cannot accept registrations from patients who live outside the Bury PCT area.

Please contact reception for further information.

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.

Online 'Pre-Registration' With The Practice

If you wish to pre-register click on the link below to open the form. When you have completed all of the details, click on the "Send" button to mail your form to us. When you visit the surgery for the first time you will be asked to sign the form to confirm that the details are correct.

Pre-registration Form

When you register you will also be asked to fill out a medical questionnaire. This is because it can take a considerable time for us to receive your medical records. There is an online version of this file too, which you may fill out and send to us. When you come to the surgery you will be asked to sign this form to confirm that the details are correct.

Online Medical Questionnaire For New Patients

Note that by sending the form you will be transmitting information about your self across the Internet and although every effort is made to keep this information secure, no guarantee can be offered in this respect.

Alternatively you may print off a registration form, fill it out and bring it in with you on your first visit to the practice.

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 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.
