How to register

We accept new patients from within the Exeter City boundary.

Please see our boundary map to check you reside within our catchment area.

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.

How to register with a GP surgery

Anyone in England can register with a GP to access NHS services. It’s free to register. If you would like to register with a GP online, visit how to register with a GP surgery.

Registering with the practice

If you wish to register with us you can do so online. It takes approximately 15 minutes to complete a registration and you will need to complete the process in one session.

Once registered, you will be able to see any of the doctors.

Before you start:

You do not need you NHS number but it may make registration easier. We may ask you for details of your previous surgery as well as basic health and medical information. The information you provide will be used to identify the correct medical records. It will also help the GP surgery to offer relevant healthcare services.

Other ways to register:

Register using a paper form

Print and fill in the form and return it to the practice you wish to register with. You can download the form or collect one from the practice.

Download the Register with a GP surgery paper form (PDF, 199 KB, 8 pages) and take it to the surgery you want to register with.

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).

Please provide this information when you bring in your completed paper form.

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 the 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.
