New Patient Registration

If you live within our practice area you are welcome to register with us and our reception staff will be happy to guide you through the procedure. Eligibility can be quickly confirmed from your address so please provide proof by way of a recent utility bill along with one form of photographic ID. 

You will need to complete a registration form (GMS1) and a health questionnaire which will provide useful information whilst we wait for your medical records to arrive from your previous doctor.

All new patients need to have a new patient health check which is now completed on our surgery pod, please make an appointment at reception once your registration has been completed.

Medical treatment is available from the date of registration. Please contact reception for further information.

The boundary for the surgery covers from Marguerite /Middlesex Ave in Leigh on Sea along the A127  to Victoria Avenue to North Road/Milton Road in Westcliff on Sea.  This includes the southside of the A127 and the Seafront.

If you are unsure if you fall within our boundary, please contact the practice for us to check.

All new patients 18 years and over will be required to have a new patient registration check, which is completed by our automated service using the Surgery Pod in reception.  Please ask at reception for guidance. 

Wipes are provided to clean the equipment before and after use please. 

The information provided on you GMS1 application form should be accurate, stating your last GP or details and dates of entering the country.  Registrations can not be completed with inaccurate information. 

Registrations are linked nationally and we are required to match your details held on the database.  If you know your NHS number for the form this would be very helpful. There maybe a delay if the NHS is not supplied. 

Registrations can take up to 7 to 10 days to complete, this may be longer during busy periods.  

Once your registration is on our clinical system, your computer record should be visible to the practice, unless your previous practice used a different clinical system.  In this case we will not have an up to date record until your written record is supplied through PCSE.  This can take up to 3 months to arrive. In these circumstances it is extremely important for you to provide as much information as possible on your patient questionnaire for us to monitor any medical conditions you may have. 

If you are on any current repeat medication, please provide us with either a copy of a recent prescription or a letter so we can add these to your medical notes.

If you are new to the UK and have not previously registered with a GP Practice please ensure that you provide the full date of your arrival in the UK. We will be unable to register you without this information. 

Thank you

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 as long as you have registered as a temporary 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.

Download the Temporary Resident Registration Form

As a temporary resident you can be provided with immediate and necessary treatment.  This does not include immunisations or referrals to Secondary Care.  This should be completed at you own surgery on your return home.
