We are currently accepting new patients at Minchinhampton Surgery. According to new NHS guidelines, we do not need to see a form of photographic identification or proof of address to register you as a new patient. Before filling out a registration form, please check that you are in our catchment area.
Catchment area
Check your home address is within our catchment boundary:
You can also find out which GPs you can register with on the NHS website.
Registering with the surgery
To register with the surgery:
- use the NHS register with a GP: Minchinhampton Surgery service
When you register, it’s helpful to have your NHS number. You can use the NHS website to find your NHS number.
We recommend that new patients book a “new patient appointment” with the GP, particularly if you have existing repeat medications or a complex medical history. It is advisable that you make sure you have plenty of stock of any of your repeat medications from your previous surgery before registering here.
Moving out of area
If you are a current patient at Minchinhampton Surgery and have moved “out-of-area” (OOA) to a home address beyond our catchment boundary, we highly recommend that you register with another GP nearer to your new address.
You can request to stay registered at Minchinhampton Surgery as an OOA patient, however this decision is at the discretion of the practice and is considered on an individual basis by the GP partners. If you have recently moved OOA but would like to remain our patient, please fill in an out of area application form (PDF).
Temporary patients
We are able to see visitors to the area as temporary patients. Please call reception so we can complete the necessary temporary registration forms. There may be a charge for overseas visitors if there is no NHS agreement between their home country and the UK.
