Register with the practice

The doctors at Sandgate Road Surgery welcome new patients who live within our practice catchment area. 

You can register online. Your registration will be processed in up to 5 days. You'll receive a text/email confirmation that your form has been received and another confirmation when you're registered with us. 

We’ll aim to process your registration within 2 working days.

We are using a registration service provided by healthtech 1 who we’ve appointed as a data processor.

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.
