Live within boundary area?

To be eligible to register at the practice, you must live within the practice catchment area.

Named GP

The practice does not have personalised lists and therefore you will be registered with the practice, however all patients will be given a Named GP. It does not mean you can only see this doctor, you can choose to see whichever doctor you wish at any time.

Your Medical Notes

Assuming you have been previously registered with a GP in England, upon registering with this practice, your electronic record will, where possible, be transferred automatically from your previous practice through the use of an NHS system called GP2GP.
