New Patients

Registering as a Patient

We are pleased to accept new patients who live in Corsham and surrounding areas onto our practice list (see Practice area)

Does it matter where I live?

Yes, we can only accept patients who live within our practice area.

Who will I be registered with?

You will be registered with The Porch Surgery and will be allocated a ‘usual doctor’.  We do not operate ‘personal’ lists and patients are at liberty to see any clinician they choose.  However, we strongly encourage patients with chronic diseases or on-going illnesses to try and see the same clinician for continuity of care.

For all new Patient Registrations please select the link

https://gp-registration.nhs.uk/J83010

Or alternatively please can you download and complete an Adult Registration Pack and return to the surgery any day Mon-Friday after 2:00pm.


WHEN REGISTERING PLEASE ENSURE YOU ALSO KNOW THE FOLLOWING:

  • Full name including previous names
  • Date and place of birth
  • Last address (we cannot register you without a previous address)
  • New address and post code
  • Last name and address of your previous doctor
  • NHS number (if known) – this is different from your National Insurance number!

If, at the time of registering you, are taking regular medication, you will need to have an appointment with a doctor.

Extended Boundary Map

The extended boundary map shows the contracted Practice area (GREEN) . Anyone living within this area can register with the Practice . Patients who move from the practice area into the  Outer boundary areas ( PURPLE) are also allowed to remain registered , however ‘new’ patients in these outer areas are not permitted to register. 

We do not accept registrations from Patients living outside the Practice area.
