We are happy to  register new NHS patients who currently live within our catchment area. Please use the interactive map below to check whether you fall within our catchment area.

New Patient Registration
Step 3: Email the following to us at admin.gurunanak@nhs.net
  • Your Signature (can be digital – scan/photo of your handwritten signature) to confirm you wish to register with the practice (this is a current NHS England requirement)
  • Two forms of Acceptable ID (if not possible, please let us know – See this Safe Surgeries leaflet)
    • We will not store these documents and we will securely delete/destroy them after our initial verification
  • OPTIONAL: Photo of your face to add to your records to help us identify you (if you agree)

Acceptable Identification: Photo Driving License, Passport, Tenancy agreement, Mortgage statement, Bank statement, Utility bill (date within the past 3 months) etc.

For children under 16 years of age, parents/ guardians should aim to provide a copy of Birth certificate and Immunisation record (in English).

Step 4:  Download both the NHS App & Airmid apps (if have device)
  • Use the NHS App first to create your NHS Login . You need a UK mobile phone number, email address and Photo ID (Passport, UK/European Driving License or European ID card). It can help to have your NHS number at hand.
  • You can use the same NHS Login to access the Airmid app, which is linked to our practice’s healthcare IT system (called SystmOne) . The Airmid app has some functionality  not  currently in the NHSApp (e.g. video consultations) and vice versa is true too, which is why we recommend you download both Apps in preparation for being registered with our practice.
Step 5:  Await confirmation that you have been registered & request Online Access to your Records

We aim to register you as quickly as possible and within 5 working days. If you have given us a UK mobile phone number, we will send you a text message to confirm you have been registered. If you do not receive such a message, you can email us at admin.gurunanak@nhs.net for an update.

Once registered, you can:

  • Full online access to your records, which you need to request via the Airmid app.  Please select “Organisations” and then click on “Dr G Singh and Partners”. Next to “Full Clinical Record”, you can click on “Request access”. We will then receive your request and start to process it. For children, there are restrictions and you need to discuss it further with us.
  • Help/advice via an online consultation which you can access through the NHS App or our practice website here.
Step 6: Registration Medical

To complete the registration process you will be asked to attend a new patient health check with our Health Care Assistant or Nurse, who will check your blood pressure and will offer advice about a healthy lifestyle.

This appointment enables us to collect medical information before your medical records arrive. It is also the start of screening for other medical problems. Normally, you will need to complete a registration medical before seeing one of our GPs.

For Guidance on overseas visitors please please visit GOV.UK for further information.

If you are not registered with a doctor but need to see one, you can receive emergency treatment for 14 days. After 14 days you will need to register as a temporary or permanent patient.

To register as a temporary resident you will need to complete a Temporary Resident Form. Please return the completed form to the surgery.

You can register as a temporary resident with a GP in England if you are in the area for longer than 24 hours but less than three months.
