Catchment area
We welcome new patients living within our catchment area.
Existing patients who move out of the boundary would normally be expected to register with a doctor nearer their home. Patients living in Somerset (or south of the dashed grey line) are invited to register at Chilcompton. Dispensing services are available at Chilcompton. If you live near the edge of one of these areas, and are not sure, we have larger scale maps at each surgery.
We try to register members of the same household with the same doctor wherever possible, unless another preference is expressed. Patients who prefer to register with a particular doctor or require a female doctor, please specify this preference in writing on application to join the surgery. We will do all we reasonably can to comply with such preferences.
Please contact reception for further information.
Registering with the surgery
To register with the surgery:
- fill out the online form using the [Register with a GP surgery] service
The service is designed and run by the NHS, so your personal information is safe. It cuts our administrative workload and makes it easier for you to register.
Or
- visit reception from 10am to 6pm and collect a paper registration form
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 register for online services, will need to visit the surgery to provide ID and receive a unique username and password to be able to use this service.
Proof of identity or address is not required for patients to register with a GP practice. See the

Temporary residents
If you are not registered with a doctor but need to see one, you can receive emergency treatment for 14 days. After 14 days you will need to register as a temporary or permanent patient.
To register as a temporary resident you will need to complete a temporary resident form.
