Catchment area
Before filling out a registration form, check you are in our catchment area.
You can also find out which GPs you can register with on the NHS website.
Registering with the surgery
To register with the surgery:
- fill out a new patient registration form online
To register with the surgery temporarily:
- fill out a temporary patient registration form online
If possible, you will then need to attend the surgery in order to provide identification. This allows us to provide you with medical care in the interim period while your medical records are transferred from your old practice to us.
Our list is currently open and we register patients from within our practice boundary that has been agreed with NHS England.
If you are planning to see a clinician at the time of registration, please arrive 20-30 minutes early for your appointment. We can then endeavour to complete your registration prior to your appointment.
You will be provided with the details of your named and accountable GP upon registration.
When you register, it’s helpful to have your NHS number. You can use the NHS website to find your NHS number.
Patient identification
It is practice policy that everyone registering with East Norwich Medical Partnership as a permanent patient, will be asked to provide proof of name and proof of address where this is possible. We will usually require two forms of ID.
Suitable ID includes:
- A form of photo ID
- Utility bill/bank statement with an address
- Patients under the age of 18 will be required to provide a birth certificate
All forms of ID will be verified by the duty receptionist.
You will be nominally registered with Thorpe Health Centre or Sprowston Primary Care Centre based on your registered address. This is an administrative process. You are free to attend appointments at either site and indeed may be offered the next available appointment for either site.
Temporary residents
East Norwich Medical Partnership has chosen not to participate in the practice choices scheme. Therefore, we do not register patients who live outside of the boundary that we have agreed with NHS England.
