Identification requests
On your first visit to our surgery we will request proof of your identity, one with proof of address and one with a photograph.
Why?
This helps to ensure the correct matching of your details to any existing NHS record, enabling previous medical records to transfer smoothly between practices. We appreciate your assistance in this matter. Therefore when you attend to register we request, that you bring two forms of identification with you – one with your photograph on and one with your address.
If you are newly resident in the UK you may also be asked to provide evidence that you are working, studying or volunteering here.
(Please refer to our registration policy below and why we ask for this).
Acceptance on to the list is as at the discretion of the Doctor.
Please also refer to the Practice Leaflet for information about our services.
