Join the Practice
Register as a New Patient
We are currently taking on new patients. If you like what you see then why not join us, it’s so easy! All you have to do is pop down to the practice and complete a registration form and health questionnaire. Alternatively complete online versions via the links below.
We do all of the background work to ensure that your notes get passed from your old GP to us and this takes approximately 6 weeks, however we can see you as many times as you need in the meantime.
Please note that if you are on repeat medication then an initial appointment will be needed to process your prescription, after this you can continue to order your repeats using any one of our services.
Where patients are requesting to join the practice list, the practice will never discriminate on the following grounds:
- Race
- Gender
- Religion
- Social class
- Age
- Sexual orientation
- Appearance
- Medical condition
- Disability
Practice Boundary
You will need to fill in both the Registration form aswell as the Questionnaire to be registered at the practice. If you are unable to provide both a photographic form of identification (ie passport, drivers licence etc) AND proof of address, please call the surgery on 0161 654 4103.
Temporary Registrations
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 for 14 days. After 14 days you will need to register as a temporary or permanent 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.

These fact sheets have been written to explain the role of UK health services, the National Health Service (NHS), to newly-arrived individuals seeking asylum. They cover issues such as the role of GPs, their function as gatekeepers to the health services, how to register and how to access emergency services.
Special care has been taken to ensure that information is given in clear language, and the content and style has been tested with user groups.
