New Patient Registration

Non-urgent advice: Registering with the surgery

To register with the surgery:
use the NHS Register with a GP: Handsworth Medical Practice service

When you register, it’s helpful to have your NHS number. You can use the NHS website to find your NHS number.

You can also pick up a copy of our registration form from our reception.

Alternatively, you can print it off and return it to the practice.

Before filling out a registration form, check you are in our catchment area.

Non-urgent advice: Supplementary questions

Anybody in England can register with a GP practice and receive free medical care from that practice.

However, if you are not ‘ordinarily resident’ in the UK you may have to pay for NHS treatment outside of the GP practice. Being ordinarily resident broadly means living lawfully in the UK on a properly settled basis for the time being.

In most cases, nationals of countries outside the European Economic Area must also have the status of ‘indefinite leave to remain’ in the UK.
