New Patients

Register as a New Patient

You can register with us if you live within 10 miles of the practice.  The practice list is open, and to register, please fill in New Patient Registration Forms which can be found below or can be collected at reception. 

Diversity and Equality

Falls Road Surgery welcomes patients from all diverse groups.

Change of Personal Details

It is important to let us know of any change to your name, address or telephone number, in order that your records are kept up to date.  If you leave the area, it may be necessary to register with another doctor.

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.
