Glebelands Practice welcome new patients who live within our catchment area. 

To complete the registration you will need your 10 digit NHS number to hand, which you can find on any hospital appointment letters/correspondence or by contacting your previous surgery.

As it often takes some time for records to be forwarded from your former practice, all newly registered adult patients will be invited to have a  "New Patient Check" with a member of the nursing team.

All registrations received are reviewed weekly on Tuesdays.  Once we have processed your registration, on the following Tuesday you will receive a SMS text message with a booking link attached, asking you to book a 20 min appointment.  

NEW PATIENT CHECK INFORMATION - PLEASE READ CAREFULLY:

When you arrive for your new patient check, you will be asked by reception to provide hard copy originals of both your of photo ID (either a passport or driving license) and proof of address confirming that you are living within catchment (council tax/utility bill/bank statement dated within the last 3 months) 

You will not be permitted to attend your new patient check without these items and your registration will be incomplete.

Please also be prepared to do a urine sample on arrival, to take into your appointment with the nursing team. 

Once you have attended your new patient check and the process is complete, you will be a Glebelands patient with full access to all the services available from the surgery.

To join our practice, new patients will need to click here and complete the online registration process or scan the QR code.  Alternatively, you can register via https://gp-registration.nhs.uk/F86020

Please make sure that you ARE within catchment and have all the necessary information to hand, as inappropriate and/or incomplete registrations will be rejected.

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 but it might help of you have one or more of the following:

• passport
• birth certificate
• HC2 certificate
• rough sleepers' identity badge
• hostel or accommodation registration or mail forwarding letter

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

You might be able to register with a GP surgery that's not in the area you live. Find out about registering with a GP surgery out of your area

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.

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.
