Register online
Step 1: Complete online registration
Our online registration form will collect your details, a brief outline of your medical history and record your preferences. This information will be added to your record and allow us to begin to provide you with medical services.
Please complete one form for each family member.
Step 2: Upload scans of photo identity and proof of address
Please deliver to the practice copies of two forms of your identity.
One form of identity must contain a photo of yourself and the other must provide evidence of your current address. You may upload your forms online.
Please Note: Once you have completed the forms online you will become a registered patient at Highview Medical Centre. However, to fully activate your registration with us you will need to come in to the surgery with proof of address. Once this has been completed you will be able to access our full range of services including the ability to book appointments and request medication online.

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.
The National Care Record Service (NCRS)
The National Care Record Service (NCRS) is the way in which health professionals now access the Summary Care Record (SCR). The SCR has not changed, it is just the way SCRs are accessed that has changed.
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
Once I have Registered as a Patient
Once we have accepted your registration as a new patient you will be invited to make an appointment for a new patient medical with the Practice Nurse or Healthcare Assistant. This is important so that we are able to record full details of your medical history, take up to date blood pressure readings as well as discussing your general health with you. You will be asked for a urine sample for testing as well as information about family history of illness and chronic conditions.
Children under 5 years of age do not need to have a medical but parents will be asked for details of all immunisation dates. We will ask that you bring in the red book for each of the children so that a full immunisation history can be taken. The doctors at Highview encourage all children to have full immunisations and appointments can be made in advance.
Organ Donation
From 2020, adults in England will be considered potential donors unless they choose to opt out or are excluded. For more information please visit the Organ Donation NHS UK where you can also register your decision.
Further Information
Acceptance on to the list is as at the discretion of the Doctor and we will ask you for proof of identity. (Please refer to our registration policy below and why we ask for this). 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.
We have the right to refuse to register patients if they have a violent flag against their record.
