How to Register
If you live within our practice area, you are welcome to register with us. Our reception staff will be happy to guide you through the process. Medical treatment is available from the date your registration is accepted by the practice.
To register, please provide the following:
- Identification: You must provide Photographic ID and Proof of a current Northern Ireland address (see our registration policy).
- For NI & UK Residents (Form HS200): This form is for patients already registered with a GP in Northern Ireland, England, Scotland, or Wales.
- For International Residents (Form HSC/R1): This form is for individuals entering Northern Ireland from any country outside the UK.
- New Patient Questionnaire: This helps our clinical team understand your medical history while we wait for your official records to arrive.
As your medical records may take a little time to arrive, please ensure you have at least one month’s supply of your repeat prescription medication. If needed, we may contact your previous practice to clarify any details about your medication.

If you stay outwith our Practice Area
If you live over a certain distance away from a practice, or if it has closed its patient list, the practice may refuse your application. If this happens, you should contact the Business Services Organisation and ask them to put your name on a doctor’s list in your area.

We welcome new patients who reside within our practice catchment area. To register permanently with the practice, you must intend to remain in Northern Ireland for a period of more than 6 months.
If you are visiting the area for a shorter period (more than 24 hours but less than 3 months), you may be able to register as a Temporary Resident for emergency or immediately necessary treatment.
Please note that if you move outside of our practice boundary, you will be required to register with a new GP practice in your local area to ensure you have access to full services, including home visits if required.
