New Patient Registration
Anyone who lives within our practice boundary (including returning students) can register with the surgery.
If you have chosen to register at Twyford Surgery then please consider arranging the appropriate registration documents as soon as is convenient. Please do not wait until you are unwell as this will save a great deal of stress and potential anxiety from having to commence the paperwork at a time when you may be feeling ill.
Once registered, your previous medical records are retrieved from your previous doctor; this is so that we can have a full and meaningful medical record.
Practice Boundary
Unfortunately, if your address is outside of the practice boundary (outside of the green area within the map below), we are unable to register you at Twyford Surgery. This is due to a number of reasons including the availability of home visits, community services and out-of-hours care.
However, there may be circumstances when we will agree to keep or register new patients who fall slightly out of our boundary. This decision is made by the Partners of the surgery.
If your address falls outside of our practice boundary, you will need to register at a GP Practice closer to your address. You can search for local GP Practices via the NHS Find a GP search feature.
Please note, that the surgery does NOT participate in the NHS Out of Area scheme. As a result, we are unable to accept registrations from patients outside of the practice boundary.
Register at Twyford Surgery
Before you can make an appointment, process a prescription, etc., you will need to register at the surgery. You can register at Twyford Surgery using the link below.
* This registration process, as well as the NHS England registration process, is managed by Healthtech and is the Surgery's preferred new patient registration process. You can also register by attending the surgery and requesting the paper-based registration form.
Temporary Registration
f 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.

Named GP
We are required to provide all of our patients with a named GP.
Your named GP is the GP who is responsible for handling your paperwork (prescriptions, letters, etc.), and has overall responsibility for the care and support you receive.
This does not prevent you from seeing any GP at the surgery.
If you would like to know who your named GP is, please speak to the reception team.
If you have a preference for your named GP, please ask at reception and we will make reasonable efforts to accommodate you.
