Registering with a GP
You need to register with a Medical Centre in order to obtain a National Health Service (NHS) number
To register with a GP, you can visit your local GP surgery and request to register with them. You should fill in form GMS1, which should be available at the surgery. Once you have been accepted as a patient, your medical records will be transferred to the new surgery and you will be sent a new medical card.
There are a number of reasons why you may not be able to register with your chosen GP. For example, the practice may be full, or you may live too far away. If this is the case, simply choose another GP in your local area.
All consultations with a doctor are free, however if you are prescribed any medication, you have to pay around £6.40 per item.
You can find details of what GP surgeries are available in your local area by using the NHS Choices website.
If you have difficulty registering with a GP, your local Primary Care Trust (PCT) will be able to help. You can get the telephone number of your local PCT from the phone book by looking under Health Services in the A-Z listing of local businesses and services. Alternatively, you can find details of your PCT on the NHS Choices website
