Registering with the surgery
To register with the surgery:
- use the NHS register with a GP surgery: The Circle Practice service
When you register, it’s helpful to have your NHS number. You can use the NHS website to find your NHS number.
After you have completed and submitted the form you must attend the surgery within 7 days with two forms of identification.
Acceptable identification includes:
- Passport
- Birth certificate
- HC2 certificate
- Rough sleepers’ identity badge
- Hostel registration/mail forwarding letter.
Until we have seen your identification you will not be registered at the practice.
For further information on registering with your GP, please visit the NHS website.
Temporary residents
If you are not registered with a doctor but need to see one, you can receive emergency treatment from any GP surgery.
If you need treatment for more than 14 days you will need to register with that GP surgery as a temporary or permanent patient.
To register as a temporary resident in England, please visit the NHS website to find GP surgeries near to your place of residence.
For further information visit NHS.uk.
Overseas visitors
In April 2015, changes were made to the way the NHS charges overseas visitors for NHS hospital care. These changes also affect some former residents of the UK. The changes were made so that the NHS does not lose out on income from migrants, visitors or former residents of the UK, who may be required to pay for their hospital treatment costs while in England.
