Register with our practice

To register with Bridges Medical Practice, fill out the form online or come to our surgery where our staff will assist you in completing the appropriate documentation.

You can now register with us online, via the NHS Register with a GP Surgery service (gp-registration.nhs.uk).

Alternatively, you may print, fill in and hand in, or email this NHS Registration Form

We normally only accept patients who reside within our practice boundary, see the map below. A patient may apply to register with the practice if they live permanently within the practice boundary. If for any reason it is decided not to permit registration (the reasons may not relate to an applicant’s race, gender, social class, age, religion, sexual orientation, appearance, disability or medical condition), the patient will be notified in writing as to the reason why, along with the CCG’s details and contact number for any queries.

Once patients are accepted onto the Bridges Medical Practice list they then have the right to express a preference regarding who they see, though they may have to delay their consultation until such times that their preferred choice is available. Patients under the age of 16 must be seen with a parent or guardian.

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.
