Register As A New Patient
Last Updated: Monday, 29 January 2024Important: Notice
Please note that we only accept new patients who live in our published boundary (see map below)
Check that you are within the practice's catchment area:
Each GP practice has a defined area within which they will accept new patients.
To join the practice as a new patient your address must be inside the area marked in blue on the map (our inner boundary)
Greenbank Road Surgery has an outer-boundary. Existing patients who move to a new address within the outer boundary are able to stay registered and enjoy continuity of care. Details are available at reception.
If you like to complete a paper form
Using the online registration process is the easiest way to register and makes the process more efficient for the surgery.
If you, or someone you are helping to register, is unable to use the online method then you can complete a paper form.
The form is linked below. Note that this is a link to a form in PDF format.
The form can also be obtained from our Reception.
When the form is completed please remember to sign it and either post it to the surgery address or deliver it yourself.
Please make sure that all the personal details are filled in clearly - including the details of your previous GP surgery - as this makes it much easier to identify you on the national system
You can also register online
Using the link below, you will be taken to a new patient registration form, to complete an online application for Greenbank Road Surgery.

If you are staying away from home and need medical support
Important: NHS 111
NHS 111 can direct you to the best place if you think you need medical help right now – you can call 111 or use NHS 111 online.
If you are staying temporarily away from your normal UK address or if you are a visitor from outside the UK you can register temporarily with this surgery.
This is to help you if you need medical help with a new or existing condition that cannot wait until you return home.
You will need to be staying at an address that is inside the area marked blue on the map on this page.
This applies to people who are temporarily at an address inside our boundary for between 24 hours and 3 months.
You will need to call the surgery to register as a temporary resident.
Support from your usual GP
Remember that you can often get support over the telephone from your usual GP surgery. If you live in England and you are staying temporarily in another part of England, your usual GP can send prescriptions electronically to a pharmacist in this area.
