To register with the practice you should live in our practice area, if so please complete our registration form below. 

Registration Form

When you register, it’s helpful to have your NHS number. You can use the NHS website to find you NHS number.

Text messaging service

When you register as a new patient, you will automatically opt in to our text service and you will receive your first text when you make your first routine appointment.

Practice staff will also use this service to inform you of normal test results and you may also receive health promotion information or reminders to book in for medication reviews etc.

If you would like to opt out of this service, please inform reception staff.

You can also find out which GPs you can register with on the NHS website.

We ask all new patients over the age of 16 to attend the practice for a new patient check with one of our Health Care Assistants as this gives you the opportunity to be put on our register if you have any of the following - heart disease/diabetes/asthma/stroke or kidney disease - if this is the case we will then invite you in to the practice for a review.

For further information on the practice take a look around our website where you will find lots of useful information with regards to the practice, our services, our policies and procedures for example booking and attending appointments. We also have a Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/gatleymedicalcentre/ which is updated regularly with news and information regarding the practice and other services in the area.

We also operate a Patient Participation Group (PPG), if you are interested and have not registered then please feel free to ask for details when you are in reception or e-mail you interest to gmicb-sto.gatleymedicalcentre@nhs.net.

Named GP

Each patient registered with us will be allocated a named GP. This GP is accountable for your care and when you need us most, will oversee your care to ensure you have the most appropriate treatment.

If you would like to know who your named GP is, you can find out by contacting reception or see the right hand side of your repeat prescription.

If you have a preference as to which GP that is, the practice will make reasonable efforts to accommodate this request. Please note this does not affect your care or which GP you see at the practice. You are still able to book an appointment with any GP at the practice.

If you have any questions regarding your registration please do not hesitate to contact the reception team.

If you fall ill while away from home, or if you are not registered with a GP but need to see one, contact our reeception team who will be able to assist you.

Registration as a temporary resident allows you to be taken on to the practice’s list for up to three months. If you are registered with a practice but are away from your home area, you can register temporarily with a practice near where you are currently staying and still remain a patient of your registered practice.

Try to have the following information available when you attend your appointment for the first time:

• Details of your ongoing medical problems
• Details of your medical problems you have suffered in the past
• Details of any medicines that you are currently taking
• Details of any allergies
• Contact details of your registered or previous practice

You can register in person at reception. The registration process takes up to 5 working days once we have received all of your information. Unfortunately, the practice cannot provide you with a service until this is complete.

If you are registered elsewhere you will need to use your existing GP or ‘walk-in service’ if you require medical attention.

Please do not leave your registration until the last moment.
