New Patients
Register as New Patient
We are using a new online service called Register with a GP surgery that makes it easy to register with this GP surgery.
Just fill in the quick online form to start the process. You do not need proof of address or immigration status, ID or an NHS number.
The service is designed and run by the NHS, so your personal information is safe. It cuts our administrative workload and makes it easier for you to register.
Paper forms are still available if you need one.
New patients can attend the practice in person to collect the necessary forms and details of information required for registration. During the registration, you will be asked for proof of identification and residence.
The Practice is open for you to join if you live in the Basildon area.
It is our policy that all new patients who take regular medication undergo a check-up which forms part of the registration procedure. Registration cannot be completed until this check has been carried out.
Temporary Patient Registrations
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.
Non-English Speakers
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.
Special care has been taken to ensure that information is given in clear language, and the content and style has been tested with user groups.

Change of Details
Please inform the surgery if any of your personal details change. For example telephone numbers (home or mobile), address, name (by marriage or deed poll). Please do not fill out change of address forms until you have actually moved to your new address.
Also please remember to update telephone numbers if you change address. Failure to do so may result in us not being able to contact you in the event of any changes to appointments etc.
