Online GP registration – It’s Quick & Easy

Do I need to visit the surgery to register?

No, you don’t need to come into the surgery. Registration is fully online and can be completed from your phone or computer. If you are unable to do so then you can always pick up a paper registration form from Bredbury Medical Centre reception.

How long does the registration process take?

Registration usually takes just a few minutes to complete. Once submitted, most registrations are processed within 24 to 48 hours.

Do I need proof of address or ID to register with a GP?

No. You do not need to provide proof of address, photo ID, or immigration status to register with a GP.

How long does it take to transfer my medical records from my previous GP?

When you register with a GP near you, your previous records are usually transferred electronically using GP2GP — a secure NHS system. In most cases, records arrive within 24 hours, helping your new GP surgery in Stockport provide safe, seamless care from day one.

If your last GP was in Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland, we’ll still request your records, but they’ll arrive manually, which may take longer.

Either way, you don’t need to do anything — we’ll handle the process for you, ensuring seamless GP registration.

Can I register if I am not from the UK?

Yes. Anyone living in or visiting England can register with a GP, regardless of their nationality, immigration status, or whether they have an NHS number.

Can I register on behalf of someone else (e.g., child or relative)?

Yes. Parents, carers, or legal guardians can register another person. Please ensure this is indicated during the registration process.

How will I know when I’m fully registered?

You’ll receive a confirmation message — usually by text, email, or phone — once your registration has been processed. This typically happens within 1–2 working days.

When can I book a GP appointment after registering?

You can book an appointment as soon as your registration is complete. This is usually within 24–48 hours after submitting your form.

Do I need an NHS number to register?

No. You don’t need to know or have an NHS number to register. If you never had one, we will request it for you. Registration may take a little longer if you do not include your NHS number.

Is registration free?

Yes. Registering with an NHS GP is free.

GP Appointments

After registering with our GP surgery, booking an appointment is simple. You can choose to speak with a GP over the phone, arrange a face-to-face visit, or use online services for convenience. We aim to offer timely appointments that suit your needs, including same-day slots where possible.

What Our Patients Say

“Never had a poor experience. Phone is answered. Never refused an appointment. Always seen promptly at my appointment time...”

“I have been registered here for nearly 20 years and so are my children. The quality of care I have received has been superb.”

“Amazing practice. Never had any issues getting through to reception and every time I have called appointments have been on the same day..”

Temporary Services

If you are ill while away from home and need to see a GP near you for urgent care, our GP surgery can offer emergency treatment 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 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.

Out of Area Patients

If you have certain health conditions, we recommend you find a GP closer to where you live. This ensures you can access essential local services—especially if your care requires home visits or local specialist support not available through our doctors in Stockport.

Conditions such as complex mental health needs, substance misuse, safeguarding concerns, or those needing frequent home care may affect your eligibility to remain registered. We may review your registration if your circumstances change. For support with booking a GP appointment or finding a more suitable practice, please speak to our team.
