If you would like to register with the practice please use the online forms below.

Before doing so, please check that you are living within our practice boundary which includes Hitchin and the surrounding villages of Pirton, Holwell, Ickleford, the Wymondleys, Preston, Gosmore, Charlton, St Ippolyts and Offley. You can do this by entering your postcode into the map.

Please note we like to verify your identification and residency so we can make sure all your details are accurate and your transition to our surgery is smooth. One of our team will be in touch with details of information required to confirm your identity. If you have been previously registered with a GP please contact them to find out your NHS number. If you are unable to provide your NHS number on this form please bring it with you when you come into the surgery to confirm your identity.

Your registration may be delayed until you have provided the above documents.

As part of the registration process we offer a health check, if you would like one please let us know.

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.
