Moving within our practice boundary
If you move address within our practice area (including if you change your telephone number or any other details) we require you let us know. You can use our update your personal details form.

Moving outside our practice boundary
Please be aware that if you move out of the catchment area of the practice you will be asked either to register with a practice that is in the area you have moved to or, alternatively, you will be asked to re-register with us as an “out of area” patient.

If you live or move outside our practice boundary you can find another practice by using the NHS choices search
Find a GP – NHS 

Registering with a new practice
When you move practice, you do not need to tell your present practice, as when you register with a new practice your notes are automatically moved electronically to your new practice.

Transferring your care to your new practice
The transfer process is not always quick. So, getting an appointment with your new practice or repeat medication can take time. So, we recommend you register immediately with your new practice rather than waiting for a medical problem to arise. In addition, if you are on repeat medication, we recommend you obtain an adequate medication supply from your present practice to cover the period before you are fully registered with your new practice (at least 1 month is recommended).

Please find link below to submit an online registration form. Once we have received this it will be reviewed and if we require further information from you, you will receive an email.

Register with a GP surgery (gp-registration.nhs.uk)

You can download a PRF1 form (or obtain one from reception) and bring this in with your other documentation.

Download and complete the form:

• PRF1

Before registering with our practice, if you are on repeat medication, we recommend you obtain at least a one-month supply from your previous practice in case there is any delay in the registration process.

Finding your NHS number
To fill in the PRF1 form you need your NHS number. You can obtain this from the GP practice you were previously registered at. You can also find it using NHS choices.

As NHS choices suggest
“You can register as a temporary resident if you plan to live near the GP surgery for up to 3 months. After 3 months you will have to apply to register with that surgery as a permanent resident. You can register temporarily with a GP surgery while away from home for work, study or on holiday. You’ll remain registered with your permanent GP surgery.”

As NHS choices suggest with emergency care
Practices do not have to accept you as a temporary patient but “you can still receive emergency treatment for up to 14 days”.

We recommend if you are a temporary resident looking for emergency care you first call 111, who will ensure you are directed to the correct service (including local minor injuries units and A&E). There is more information on local support under Urgent Care And Out Of Hours.

Change of your personal details

How to do this is explained under Update your personal details.

Moving outside our practice boundary
Please note that we can only register patients who live within our practice boundary, so if you do move outside our catchment area you will need to register with a GP practice who covers the area you have moved into, or, alternatively, you will be asked to re-register with us as an “out of area” patient.

We recommend you start on the page need medical help? start here. This takes you through a series of steps and includes the process of Booking an appointment in our practice. If you want to explore more information on health and social care particularly relating to the local area, we recommend you look at the Bucks Health Hub.

When your registration is processed you will be allocated a named GP. You will be informed of this by letter or email. Please see what this actually means under Named GP and continuity of care, which also explains the benefits of continuity of care (seeing the same clinician for a particular problem whoever that clinician is).

As is explained there will be times when your allocated GP is not available, but you are free to see any other GP within the Practice.
