Registering with Us

Check that you live in the Moss Street Surgery catchment area by using the Catchment Area Tool on the NHS website (opens in a new browser window). Alternatively, you can contact the surgery and ask our reception team.

If you live in our practice catchment area (see above) you can join our patient list. 

You will need to request a Welcome Pack from the surgery. This contains various forms and information about the practice. To register, you must fill out the following forms:

• Register with a GP Surgery (PRF1) form
• Ethnicity form
• Patient code of conduct

You can also register with the practice Online through the NHS Website (link opens in a new browser window).

If you would like this information in an alternative format (for example, large print or easy read) or if you need help with communicating with us (for example, because you use British Sign Language), please let us know. You can call us on 01543 504477. 

The doctors are happy to see patients who are temporarily living in the practice area should medical advice be required. In this instance please state that you are a temporary resident when asking to register at the surgery.

You will need to complete a Temporary Resident Registration form (GMS 3) at reception.

An NHS number is a 10 digit number, like 485 777 3456.

Your NHS number is unique to you. It helps healthcare staff and service providers identify you correctly and match your details to your health records.

See How to find your NHS number on the NHS website for further information.

All patients registered at Moss Street Surgery have a named doctor. This is for your reassurance that you have one GP who has overall responsibility for your care and support. However, patients may be booked in with any of the doctors at our surgery and are free to express a preference. 

If you are unsure of who is your named doctor please ask at reception.

New patients are allocated a named doctor on registration.
