Please note that although we have some patients who live in Boothtown, Claremount, and Southowram, we no longer accept new patients living in these areas, as these now fall outside our practice boundary.
Registering children
Children under 16 need to be registered by their parent or guardian. You may also be asked to provide a form of ID to prove that you're their parent or guardian.
If you have a personal child health record (red book) from the birth of your child, it will help to provide this.
If you change your address, please inform the practice as soon as possible so that we can amend your records.
If you do not inform your GP that you've moved there's a risk that:
- NHS letters giving appointment dates or test results go to the wrong address
- Our GP surgery may not be able to provide home visits or other services if you move outside the area
Temporary Registration
If you are ill while away from home, or if you are not registered with a doctor, you can call any GP surgery to get emergency treatment for up to 14 days.
If your treatment will last longer than 14 days, you'll have to register as a temporary or permanent resident.
You can register as a temporary resident with a GP surgery for up to 3 months. This can be helpful if you're living away from home but do not want to change your home GP surgery.
To register as a temporary resident, you'll need to fill out a temporary services form (GMS3), available from the GP surgery.
After 3 months, you'll have to reapply to register as a temporary resident or become a permanent patient.
