Register with our practice

We welcome new patients who live within our practice area to register with us.

We cover the whole of Leamington Spa, Radford Semele, Warwick Gates, Heathcote. 

Anyone in England can register with a GP surgery. It’s free to register. You do not need proof of address or immigration status, ID or an NHS number.

GP surgeries are usually the first contact if you have a health problem. They can treat many conditions and give health advice. They can also refer you to other NHS services. You do not need proof of ID to register with a GP, but it might help if you have one or more of the following:

Passport | Birth certificate | HC2 certificate | Rough sleepers’ identity badge | Hostel or Accommodation registration |Mail forwarding letter

If you’re homeless, you can give a temporary address, such as a friend’s address, a day centre or the GP surgery address.

Please note: You will be asked to upload the ID proof in case you request online access to medical records.

Alternatively to register using a paper form, visit this link: Register with a GP surgery using a paper form

What if I live outside the Practice area?

Outer practice boundaries are an expansion of a GP’s original catchment area. Whereas in the past you may have had to register with a new GP after moving a few streets further down the road, these outer boundaries can be a way to stay registered with your old GP.

You’ll still have to speak with your GP first and, if appropriate, the GP may keep you on the register. Please talk to your GP for more information on this.

Catchment Area (Practice Boundary)

Named GP

From 1st April 2015 all practices in England are required by the Government under the terms of the latest GP contract, to allocate all patients (including children) a named accountable GP.

This excludes patients aged 75 and over who have already been allocated a named accountable GP. The named GP will take responsibility for the co-ordination of all appropriate services and ensure they are delivered where required to each of our patients.

The named GP is largely a role of supervision. It is important to stress this is purely an administrative exercise and does not affect the way we operate or your overall treatment and care.

‘There is no condition within the regulations of the contract for you to see your named GP when you book an appointment, so you will still be able to see any of the doctors at the practice when you are unwell.

If you wish to know your named GP please contact the practice. If you do not wish to have a named accountable GP please notify the practice so that we can amend your records.

Accessing someone else's information

As a parent, family member or carer, you may be able to access services for someone else. We call this having proxy access. We can set this up for you if you are both registered with us.

To requests proxy access:

  • fill in our admin request form
  • collect a proxy access form from reception from 8.30-1pm or 3.30-6.30pm

Linked profiles in your NHS account

Once proxy access is set up, you can access the other person’s profile in your NHS account, using the NHS App or website.

The NHS website has information about using linked profiles to access services for someone else [nhs.uk].
