How to register

We have an open list and welcome requests for registration from patients living in or moving to the practice area.

You can register by either:

You will have a named, accountable doctor who is responsible for coordinating your care. You can still talk to or make appointments to see any of our doctors or nurses, not just your named GP.

Temporary patients

If you are not registered with the surgery you will be unable to see one of our doctors unless you have a serious emergency. In most other cases, calling 111 is a better option.

If you are not registered but need treatment at the surgery you will need to complete a temporary registration form.

You can be registered as a temporary patient for up to three months. This means you can be registered with our practice and remain a patient of your permanent GP. After three months you will have to re-register as a temporary patient or permanently register with our practice.

Overseas Visitors and Emergency Treatment for Foreign Visitors

People from abroad are eligible for free treatment on the NHS in the case of an emergency. Broadly, this means that if, in the opinion of the GP, your condition requires emergency treatment you will not be charged for a consultation with the GP. If you have an accident then you should go to the Minor injuries unit at West Mendip Hospital on the Glastonbury Road or A+E at Musgrove Park hospital in Taunton.

If you require treatment or medication for a pre-existing condition you will be charged a fee, which then should be claimed back via your insurance company.

Please note that these conditions also apply to British nationals living abroad.

Should you be registered with another practice locally you are required to attend your own practice where your medical notes are available.

Please note that the surgery is not a casualty department and if it is thought that an X-ray is required the patient should be taken straight to hospital.
