How to register as a new patient online

Complete the online form to register to become a patient at Perranporth Surgery.

You will need to fill in all of the details to register at our surgery. You will also need to provide a copy of your ID and proof of address. For example, valid ID could include a photograph of your passport or driving licence. This is to check that you live in the local catchment area.

We may also ask you for details of your previous GP surgery and basic health and medical information.

Registering online as a non-English speaker

You can find guidance and advice on how to become a new patient and the NHS healthcare services you can access, if your first language is not English, or if you’re an asylum seeker on the Government website.

Registering as a temporary patient

If you are away from home, you can register as a temporary patient with Perranporth Surgery for up to three months. This will allow you to use our surgery and still remain a patient at your permanent GP surgery. After three months, you will have to re-register as a temporary patient or permanently register with us.

You can register as a temporary patient at Perranporth Surgery by completing our online form.

Registering children

Children under 16 need to be registered by their parent or guardian. You can do this by completing the online GP surgery registration form on their behalf. You will need to provide a form of ID to prove that you’re their parent or guardian.

What to do if you’re registering on behalf of someone else

If you are a carer of young children, elderly adults or adults who aren’t able to register themselves, you can set up an account on their behalf. This will allow you to book an appointment and access parts of their GP online services account.

Change of address

If you are moving house, please let us know as soon as possible. If you are moving out of the surgery’s catchment area, you may be asked to register with a surgery that’s closer to your new home address.

You can contact us online to let us know about a change in your address.

Please also let us know if your telephone number or email address changes.

Register as a New Patient

If you live within our practice area you are welcome to register with us and our reception staff will be happy to guide you through the procedure.

You will need to complete a registration form (GMS1) and a health questionnaire which will provide useful information whilst we wait for your medical records to arrive from your previous doctor. Both forms can be completed online below.

New patients will be encouraged to see our practice nurse soon after registering so that we can familiarise ourselves with your medical history and treatment. Medical records can take a considerable time to reach us and this examination gives us valuable information about you until they arrive.

If You Move

If you move please let us know your new address and telephone number. If you move outside our practice area, please do not assume that we can continue to care for you.
