How to Register
We welcome new patients. If you wish to register with Lyngford Park Surgery please come into the surgery and pick up a Registration Pack. The pack consists of:
- a Registration Form (PRF1)
- a medical questionnaire
- a Fast Alcohol Screening Test (FAST)
- the Accessible Information Standard
- an Online Access Request form
- a Summary Care Record Consent form
You can complete the forms here at the surgery on the day or complete them at home and bring them back in. Please note that we need all four completed forms before we are able to register you. New patients under 15 will be asked to complete the Registration Form only. If you prefer you can register online.
Additional Information
Anyone in England can register with a GP surgery, although acceptance on to the list is at the discretion of the Doctor. You do not need proof of address or immigration status, ID or an NHS number. You will not be refused registration if you do not have proof of ID, but if you do, we would ideally like to see:
- A form of photo ID, for example, passport or driving licence
- Proof of current address, such as a utility bill, bank statement or housing agreement
Please note that your medical records may take several weeks to arrive at the Practice.
There are a number of reasons why you may not be able to register with your chosen GP, for example you may live too far away. If this is the case simply choose another GP in your local area.
Please note that if you were previously registered with a Doctor outside the UK then the Practice will not have access to your medical notes. All patients who register from abroad should contact their previous Doctor to obtain copies of their notes.
Catchment area
We are happy to accept new patients who are ordinarily resident in the UK and living within our practice boundary.
See if you live within our practice boundary by using the interactive map and postcode checker.
Register online
We are using an NHS online service called Register with a GP surgery that makes it easy to register with this GP surgery. This secure system will email us your registration form.
Just fill in this quick online form to start the process. You do not need proof of address or immigration status, ID or an NHS number.
The service is designed and run by the NHS, so your personal information is safe. It reduces our administrative workload and makes it easier for you to register.
Paper forms are still available if you need one.

The National Care Record Service (NCRS)

For more information about NCRS please see: National Care Records Service
Information for patients who wish to opt out of having a summary care record, including an opt out form is available here: Opting out
Organ Donation
