Registering with the surgery
To register with the surgery:
- fill out an online registration form
- download a form to fill in at home and bring to the practice
- visit reception when we are open and collect a paper registration form
When you register, it’s helpful to have your NHS number. You can use the NHS website to find your NHS number.
Named GP
All patients at St Margarets Medical Practice have a named, accountable doctor who is responsible for coordinating their care.
Your named doctor will be allocated to you by the practice. You can still talk to or make appointments to see any of our doctors or nurses, not just your named GP.
If you have a preference and would like to request a particular doctor at the practice to be your named GP please talk to one of our receptionists.
Temporary residents
You can register as a temporary resident with a GP surgery for up to 3 months. This can be helpful if you’re living away from home but do not want to change your home GP surgery.
To register you’ll need to fill out a temporary services form (GMS3), available from GP surgeries.
