The practice list is currently open and we are happy to accept new patients who live within our  boundary area (This includes Hartlepool and also the surrounding villages of Hart, Elwick, Dalton Piercy, Greatham and the Headland).

Before filling out a registration form, check you are in our catchment area using the map and postcode checker opposite.

To register:

• please visit reception and request a GMS1 registration form and New Patient Pack

When you register, it’s helpful to have your NHS number. You can use the NHS website to find your NHS number.

As part of the registration process you will need a 20 minutes appointment with the Healthcare Assistant or General Practice Assistant for a simple check up and to fill in a questionnaire giving details of any past medical history. This helps us to provide you with an efficient service and allows us to collect necessary details about you and your health pending receipt of your full medical records (which can take several weeks).

Practices are required to allocate all patients (including children) with a named accountable GP.

The named GP is responsible for the coordination and delivery of all appropriate services, where required based on clinical judgement, to each of their patients.

• Patients do not need to see their named GP when they book an appointment with the practice.
• Patients are entitled to choose to see any GP or nurse in the practice.

Patiente are allocated thier Named GP based upon alphabetical categories. Please see chart below.
