What do I need?
It is helpful if you know it, but it is not essential.
You can normally register without providing documents.
Everyone in England can register with a GP surgery for free.
Having your previous GP details, current medicines and an emergency contact available will help us complete your registration accurately. You can find your NHS number online if needed.
What happens next?
Tell us your contact details, previous GP, medicines and relevant health information.
The NHS advises that registration is usually confirmed within five days, although some applications take longer.
Your previous GP is notified automatically. You do not need to contact them yourself.

Registration questions
Can I register if I live further away?
We consider out-of-area registrations individually. You may apply online, but we may contact you before accepting the registration.
If you work nearby or particularly want to use our services, telephone 0161 736 1166 to discuss this with us.
Registering a baby, child or someone I care for
Complete a separate registration form for each person. Children under 16 are usually registered by a parent or guardian. A child’s red book can be helpful, if available.
You can also register someone you care for. The form will ask for your details and your relationship to that person.
I am staying in the area temporarily
If you are living away from home or visiting the area, you may be able to register as a temporary patient for up to three months without leaving your permanent GP practice. Contact reception to ask for a temporary-services form.
Will I have a named GP?
Patients have a named accountable GP, but this does not prevent you from seeing another suitable GP or healthcare professional at the practice.
I do not have a permanent address
You can still register with a GP. You may use a temporary address, the address of a friend or family member, or—in some circumstances—the surgery address. Please speak to reception if you need help.
Need help registering?
Contact our reception team if you need the form in another format, need help completing it, or want to discuss an out-of-area application.
