New Patients

Elm House Surgery welcomes new patients.

Registering with Us

If you need to register with a doctor and are living in the surgery catchment area, you can fill out the appropriate registration form and health questionnaire below:

A relative or friend can fill in the form with your consent.

Once you have completed all the necessary documentation, your registration will be processed by our administrative team. Your medical records will be transferred to us from your previous doctor.

If you have not had a doctor in the UK before, a new medical card will be made for you with a unique National Health Service (NHS) Number.

We are happy to register new NHS patients within our practice boundary area, please enter your postcode below to ensure you live within our service boundary.

Catchment Area


Out of Area Patients

Where it is clinically appropriate and practical to register, we now accept new registration from patients who work in the local area but reside outside of our registration area. Patients registered this way would not be entitled to home visit from the practice, however they will be able to contact NHS 111 in order to be seen by a practice closer to where they live.

For further information about this type of registration, please contact us on 020 8650 0173 or feel free to come into the practice.


Temporary Residents

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.
