How to register – The Alexandra Practice

We have an open list and welcome requests for registration from people living in or moving to the practice area.

You can register by either:

completing an online patient registration form
completing a form available from reception
downloading and printing a registration form to complete by hand and bring to the surgery.

We will invite you to come in to the surgery to sign some additional paperwork before the registration process is complete. Please let us know if this is difficult for you in any way and we will try to help.

We recommend that new patients undertake a health check with a practice nurse.

Special circumstances

We understand that it might be difficult for some people to fill in this form or to provide the personal or address identification that we request. Please come in to the surgery and we will do our best to help you.

Named GP

You will have a named, accountable doctor who is responsible for coordinating your care. You can still talk to or make appointments to see any of our doctors or nurses, not just your named GP.

Temporary patients

If you are not registered with the surgery you will be unable to see one of our doctors unless you have a serious emergency. In most other cases, calling 111 is a better option.

If you are not registered but need treatment at the surgery you will need to complete a temporary registration form.

You can be registered as a temporary patient for up to three months. This means you can be registered with our practice and remain a patient of your permanent GP. After three months you will have to re-register as a temporary patient or permanently register with our practice.
