NHS - Register with a GP surgery

 

Accountable / Named GP for all Patients

All patients registered at the Castlegate and Derwent surgery have a named GP who has the overall responsibility for your care and support but you are free to see any of our GPs at the surgery.

 

Temporary Patients 

If you are a UK resident and you will be living in our practice area for less than 3 months, you can be treated at our surgery as a 'temporary resident'. Please note: all requests for repeat medications MUST be made to your own GP.

To apply for temporary registration, enter the postcode of where you are living or staying.

Regular NHS care is available to UK residents only. If you are not usually resident in the UK then we can provide emergency care only.

 

Register for proxy access

A GP surgery can give someone proxy access so they can help another person manage their GP health and care.

A proxy may be able to act for the person they support, by:

  • ordering repeat prescriptions
  • booking appointments
  • contacting the surgery or speaking to surgery staff
  • viewing test results or vaccinations
  • accessing all or part of the GP health record, to help with health-related tasks and managing health issues
