Join The Practice

We welcome new patients who live within our practice area to register with us.

Our practice area covers the following areas: Lapworth Lowsonford, Baddesley Clinton, Rowington and Shrewley Crossroads.

We are happy for you to call the surgery to see if you are within our border. Please note your registration maybe returned if you are not within our border area.

Anyone in England can register with a GP surgery. It's free to register. You do not need proof of address or immigration status, ID or an NHS number.

GP surgeries are usually the first contact if you have a health problem. They can treat many conditions and give health advice. They can also refer you to other NHS services. You do not need proof of ID to register with a GP, but it might help if you have one or more of the following:

Passport | Birth certificate | HC2 certificate | Rough sleepers' identity badge | Hostel or Accommodation registration |Mail forwarding letter

If you're homeless, you can give a temporary address, such as a friend's address, a day centre or the GP surgery address.

Please note: You will be asked to upload the ID proof in case you request online access to medical records.

These questions are optional and your answers will not affect your entitlement to register or receive services from the NHS but may improve access to some NHS priority and service charities services.

NHS Organ Donor Registration

Organ donation in England has moved to an 'opt out' system. This means that all adults in England will be considered to have agreed to be an organ donor when they die unless they have recorded a decision not to donate or are in one of the excluded groups.

You still have a choice about whether or not you wish to become a donor. If you wish to know more on the law and Opt Out from the register, please visit NHS Organ Donation.

NHS Blood Donor Registration

You can self-register on the NHS Blood Donor Register, if you wish to become a blood donor. Please visit the website to register.

Supplementary Questions

Anybody in England can register with a GP practice and receive free medical care from that practice.

However, if you are not ‘ordinarily resident’ in the UK you may have to pay for NHS treatment outside of the GP practice. Being ordinarily resident broadly means living lawfully in the UK on a properly settled basis for the time being. In most cases, nationals of countries outside the European Economic Area must also have the status of ‘indefinite leave to remain’ in the UK.

Some services, such as diagnostic tests of suspected infectious diseases and any treatment of those diseases are free of charge to all people, while some groups who are not ordinarily resident here are exempt from all treatment charges.

More information on ordinary residence, exemptions and paying for NHS services can be found in the Visitor and Migrant patient leaflet, available from your GP practice. Alternatively for more information go to www.nhs.uk/visitingengland

You may be asked to provide proof of entitlement in order to receive free NHS treatment outside of the GP practice, otherwise you may be charged for your treatment. Even if you have to pay for a service, you will always be provided with any immediately necessary or urgent treatment, regardless of advance payment.

The information you give on this form will be used to assist in identifying your chargeable status, and may be shared, including with NHS secondary care organisations (e.g. hospitals) and NHS Digital, for the purposes of validation, invoicing and cost recovery. You may be contacted on behalf of the NHS to confirm any details you have provided.
