We welcome all new patients.
Practice Area
You can register as a new patient with the practice if you live in our inner practice area which consists of:
Catchment Area
If you are registered in our inner practice area and then move to our outer practice area you may remain on our list, although if you are in our extended practice area and require home visits, we will not be able to fulfil this requirement so you will be asked to register at a GP practice within your area. See image download for outer practice boundary. If you move out of our catchment area, you will need to register at a local GP practice within the catchment of your new address.
How to register as a new patient
Visit the surgery in person and complete an application form at reception. We are proud to be a ‘Safe Surgery’ for everyone in our community, All are welcome. Everyone in the UK has the right to free care from a GP. If you don’t have proof of ID or address, you can still register. Immigration status or nationality don’t matter -reception won’t ask for immigration documents and won’t share your information with the Home Office unless serious crime is involved.

You can also complete an online registration form here. Please note your date of birth needs to be written as day/month/year.
New patients will need to complete an initial health questionnaire following which you will be offered a preliminary health check.
Overseas Visitors
If you are an overseas visitor to the UK there may be a charge to see the doctor or nurse. For further information, please contact reception.
Updating Your Details
Please let us know if you move address, change your phone number(s) or email. You can do this in person or if you are registered for online services you can do this via the patient portal.
Temporary residents
If you are visiting the area for work, family reasons, holiday or studies, you can register temporarily (from 16 days to 3 months) with Burley Park Medical Centre. You’ll still remain registered with your permanent GP back at home.
To register as a temporary resident the place you are staying needs to be within our inner catchment area. After three months you will have to apply to register with that surgery as a permanent resident.
We will pass details of any treatment you have to your GP, who will add the information to your medical records.
