Registering with the surgery

To register with the surgery:

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

We ask you for proof of identity as this helps us register you quickly and accurately. If you are unable to provide proof of identity, we can still register you. Please note that your medical records may take several weeks to arrive at the Practice.

Please note the following important information relating to your registration

  • Your registration may take up to four weeks once submitted to complete.
  • You will need to request four weeks’ worth of medication from your current GP before you register with us.
  • You will receive a message via SMS or email to inform you when you’re registered. This message will inform you to book a New Patient Health Check. You’re required to have this appointment to complete your registration.
  • You will not be able to use SystmConnect or book appointments until your registration is complete.
  • You will need to send us a copy of your current repeat medication when asked.
  • If you need urgent care while you are waiting to complete your registration you can access local services such as the Pharmacy or Walk in Centre.

Named GP

All patients at Uni-City Medical Centre have a named, accountable doctor who is responsible for coordinating their care.

Your named doctor will be allocated to you by the practice. You can still talk to or make appointments to see any of our doctors or nurses, not just your named GP.

If you have a preference and would like to request a particular doctor at the practice to be your named GP please talk to one of our receptionists.
