When you have found a GP surgery you would like to register with go along and give them your medical card details. If you don't have a medical card you should fill in form GMS1, which should be available at the surgery. Once you've been accepted as a patient, your medical records will be transferred to the new surgery and you'll be sent a new medical card.
For information on GP surgeries with extended opening hours, please refer to our GP Access Leaflet.
To find the addresses of your nearest GP surgeries click on the NHS choices link below and then select 'G.P's' and enter your post code.
There are a number of reasons why you may not be able to register with the GP you have chosen. For example, the practice may be full or you may live too far away. If this is the case, simply choose another GP in your local area.
If you have difficulty registering with a GP, the NHS Mid Essex PALS service will be able to help.
