Important: Please Make Sure You Stay Registered With Our Practice
NHS England is currently checking GP patient lists across the country to make sure records are up to date. This helps identify patients who may no longer live in England or within their registered practice area. The aim is not to remove genuine patients from GP lists.
If you have not visited the surgery or ordered a repeat prescription in the last 18 months, you may receive a text message, email, or letter from NHS England or from our practice asking you to:
• Confirm your contact details
• Confirm that you still live within our practice area
Please do not ignore these messages.
If you do not respond, NHS England may remove you from our patient list. This is part of a national NHS England process and is not controlled by the practice.
If you still live within our practice area, there is no need to worry. Simply reply to the message as soon as possible and your registration will remain active.
If you are removed by mistake, you may need to re-register with the practice before you can access routine GP services.
What do I need to do?
If you receive a message asking you to confirm your details, please respond straight away to ensure you remain registered with our practice.
Thank you for helping us keep your records and registration up to date.
