We ask for proof of address and photographic I.D. (mobile 'phone bills are not accepted).

You do not need to inform your existing practice that you are moving, although it may be courteous to do so.
- For students from abroad: - please provide a headed letter from your college indicating the course you are enrolled on and the duration of that course, together with your photographic identification and any immigration I.D. you may have.

For children aged 5 years or less, please supply official documentation indicating the child's immunisation status (the Red Book).

Accessing someone else’s information
As a parent, family member or carer, you may be able to access services for someone else. We call this having proxy access. We can set this up for you if you are both registered with us.
To requests proxy access, please collect a proxy access form from reception from 9am to 5pm.
Linked profiles in your NHS account
Once proxy access is set up, you can access the other person’s profile in your NHS account, using the NHS App or website.
The NHS website has information about using linked profiles to access services for someone else.

- Patients are entitled to choose to see any GP or nurse in the practice.
