Join the surgery

Catchment area

Before filling out a registration form, check you are in our catchment area.

Find out with GPs you can register with on the NHS website.

To register with the surgery:

• fill out an online registration form
• visit reception from 7.30am 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.

Please also provide proof of address by way of a recent utility bill and one form of photographic ID.

All new patients are offered a health check with a member of the healthcare team to ensure that any required tests are up to date and that we have an accurate note of any repeat medication you may be taking.

Historically, the doctors at Park View have been willing to register patients who live outside of the practice area, or retain patients who move outside of the practice area. However, in recent years we have had to review this situation. In order to provide safe and equitable care to all our patients, doctors must be able to visit in a timely way if a patient becomes housebound, and arrange appropriate community health and social care.

Arrangements to expand or remove practice boundaries are entirely voluntary. Practices are legally entitled to request patients leave the practice if they live outside of the practice area, even if they have been with the practice for some time. If patients do not do so, when requested, they may be removed.

Further information is available from NHS Choices here.

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

From 1st April 2015, practices are required to allocate all patients (including children) with a named accountable GP.

The named GP is responsible for the coordination and delivery of all appropriate services, where required based on clinical judgement, to each of their patients.

• Patients do not need to see their named GP when they book an appointment with the practice.
• Patients are entitled to choose to see any GP or nurse in the practice.
