How to register as a new patient online
We are using a new online registration form called Register with a GP Surgery which makes it easy to register with the Woolston and Chartwell Partnership. It can take up to 5 working days to process the registration application and adults will receive a text message confirming they have been registered.
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 cuts our administrative workload and makes it easier for you to register.
Alternative registration options
A copy of our paper registration form can be downloaded below and sent and handed into us. Or, if you would prefer a hard copy, forms are available from reception to collect.

New patient health check
All new patients are offered a health check with a member of the healthcare team to ensure that any required tests are up to date and that we have an accurate note of any repeat medication you may be taking.
Medical treatment is available from the date of registration. Please contact reception for further information.
Overseas visitors will need to produce proof of residency.
When you first register you will be invited to attend for a health check with the practice nurse to discuss your general health, update your medical records and be offered help with future health needs.
Inclusion in List of Patients
When you are accepted onto our list you are registered with the Practice and not an individual GP. You can still ask to be seen or treated by a particular GP, however, choice of GP cannot be absolute. It may be more appropriate to see a different member of the team with specific expertise. If you wish to express a preferred GP, please indicate this to the receptionist who will record this into your electronic medical record.
Temporary Patient Registrations
If you are ill while away from home or if you are not registered with a doctor but need to see one you can receive emergency treatment from the local GP practice for 14 days. After 14 days you will need to register as a temporary or permanent patient.
You can be registered as a temporary patient for up to three months. This will allow you to be on the local practice list and still remain a patient of your permanent GP. After three months you will have to re-register as a temporary patient or permanently register with that practice.
To register as a temporary patient simply contact the local practice you wish to use. Practices do not have to accept you as a temporary patient although they do have an obligation to offer emergency treatment. You cannot register as a temporary patient at a practice in the town or area where you are already registered.
Non-English Speakers
These fact sheets have been written to explain the role of UK health services, the National Health Service (NHS), to newly-arrived individuals seeking asylum. They cover issues such as the role of GPs, their function as gatekeepers to the health services, how to register and how to access emergency services.
Special care has been taken to ensure that information is given in clear language, and the content and style has been tested with user groups.
