New Patient Registration

Register with the practice as a new patient

How to register

Joining us takes about five minutes.

You can register online without coming to the surgery. We welcome patients who live outside our practice boundary, and we’re a Safe Surgery - everyone has the right to register with a GP.

Register at our GP Practice

You do not need

  • Proof of address, like a tenancy agreement or a bill
  • Photo ID or a passport
  • Your NHS number
  • Immigration documents

Alternatively, if you are unable to register using the NHS Registration Form, please use our secure form to register

If you have any questions about your eligibility to join this surgery, please contact us or enter your postcode into the boundary area below.

Temporary services

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 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.

Your named GP

All patients at the North Hyde Practice can see any of the doctors practising here or if you prefer you can see the same GP for continuity.

As part of the commitment to more personalised care for patients, NHS Employers and the General Practitioners Committee of the British Medical Association have agreed that all patients will have a named accountable GP.

The Named GP will:

  • Take lead responsibility for ensuring that all appropriate services required under the contract with the practice are delivered to you
  • Where required, based on the professional judgement of the ‘named’ GP, work with relevant associated health and social care professionals to deliver a multidisciplinary care package that meets your needs.
  • Ensure that your physical and psychological needs are recognised and responded to by the relevant clinicians in the practice
  • Ensure that patients over 75 years of age have access to a health check if requested, which is already a requirement of the GP contract regulations. ​​

The Practice will ensure that there is a named accountable GP assigned to each patient.

New patients will be allocated a GP at the time of registration.

Your named accountable GP will be the same as your USUAL GP however this does not affect your ability to see any GP of your choice as you currently do.
