Registration

Practice Boundary for New Registrations

The National Health Service is regarded as first and foremost for the benefit of people living in this country.  Free Primary Care treatment should be based on residence in the UK, not on nationality, or past or present payment of UK taxes or National Insurance Contributions.

The area covered by this practice is marked on this map.

Who Can Register at the Practice?

1. Anyone who is living permanently within Kettering town; our practice boundary – this includes Barton Seagrave, Warkton, Weekley, and Cranford.
2. Also if you are permanently rejoining your family who are registered at the practice.  (It may be that they are living outside the new practice area but are registered at the surgery.)  Please contact the surgery before turning up to register with us if you fall into this category.  You may or may not be eligible to register at the practice.

Registration Information

The surgery is currently open for new registrations.

On receipt of an enquiry about registration with us we will give you some information and forms that must be completed, one for every person wishing to register.  If you wish to proceed after reading the information please come to the surgery first floor reception with your completed forms and ask to register. 

You are not registered uness we have completed and processed your application forms.  The staff member will advise you at this registration if you need to see either a Nurse or Doctor and make this appointment for you.

From 1st April 2004 patient registrations were no longer with an individual General Practitioner, but with the surgery.  You can, if you wish express a preference for a particular Doctor, and we will try whenever possible to ensure patients see their preferred GP.

When you register you will be given a card stating your usual GP.  This is for administration purposes only for example when you order your repeat medication.

What identification documents do I need to register?

Any patient who wishes to register must bring the following to their registration appointment:

1. Proof of identity (passport, driving licence - if no photo ID available a birth certificate is acceptable)
2. Proof of address (utility bill, official letter confirming address if living in a residential/care home)
3. Proof of UK residency if applicable
