We have an open list and welcome registrations from patients living in or moving to our practice boundary.
How do I register?
To register, please Fill in the NHS registration form online
If you have any issues, please contact us. We can give you a paper registration forms, which you must return in person, with your proof of address (any document with your name and address on) and photographic ID.
Named GP
You will have a named, accountable doctor who is responsible for coordinating your care. You can still choose to talk to or make appointments to see any of our doctors or nurses, not just your named GP.
Patient Booklet
Our Patient Participation Group (PPG) have prepared a useful booklet giving an overview of our services. Download a copy here: Patient Booklet – Oldwood Surgery & Battle Health Centre
Organ donation
English Law has changed and organ donation is now an ‘opt out’ system. Find out more by visiting www.organdonation.nhs.uk. The GMS 1 forms are currently being updated. If you wish to opt out, please state this on your form.
Temporary registration
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 patient using this GMS 3 form. Paper copies of this form are available from the reception team at Oldwood Surgery or Battle Health Centre.
You can be registered as a temporary patient for up to three months. This will allow you to be on the local practice ‘register’ and still remain a patient of your permanent GP. After three months you will have to re-register as a permanent patient. You cannot register as a temporary patient at a practice in the town or area where you are already registered.
