Check if you are eligible

Contact the surgery if you’re not sure if you’re eligible.

If you are in the area for less than 3 months

Before you fill in the form

Find your NHS Number

The registration form will ask you for your NHS number, which consists of 10 digits. You can find it on a prescription, an appointment letter, or using the Find your NHS number online service.

Ensure you have enough medication

You should ensure you have at least one month's supply of your medication. It can take around a month to transfer your records from your old GP practice. During this time, you may not be able to renew your prescriptions.
