Registrations are temporarily closed
For more information please see our page called Registrations are temporarily closed – Southernhay House Surgery & Whipton Branch.
We accept new patients from within the Exeter City boundary.
Please see our boundary map to check you reside within our catchment area.
Anyone wishing to register should go to either surgery reception and collect registration forms. You will be registered with the practice and will be able to see any of the doctors.
The practice has two sites and patients are expected to attend both sites for urgent medical appointments. Please take this into consideration before registering.
If you are likely to have difficulties in attending either site you may find it preferable to register with a practice that has one site. Click here to find local practices.
Medical treatment is available from the date of registration.

Registering with the practice
If you wish to register with us please contact the practice. As part of your registration with us, we would like to set you up with online services to access services such as online appointment booking and medication requests. To do this we will need some proof of your address (utility bill or bank statement etc), and a form of photo ID (passport, drivers licence).
Current pressures on our services means that it may take up to a week to process your registration.
Temporary patients
If you are ill while away from home your usual practice can probably help you so you should contact them in teh first instance.
If this is not the case and you need to see a clinician you can register 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.
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.
