Patient Registrations
Register as a New Patient
In order to register with the practice, please click the banner above to register online. We encourage all new patients to download the AskFirst App. You can use this to book appointments quickly and efficiently once registered.
It can take up to 10 working days to process your registration and confirm your details. If you need to see a clinician during this period please advise the reception team that your new registration is being processed.
Please check your address using the boundary map on this page before submitting a registration as we will not accept any new registrations outside of our boundary. By clicking the magnifying glass on the map you will be able to enter your address.
We are a safe surgery. Everyone in the UK has the right to free care from a GP. If you don’t have proof of ID or address, you can still register. Immigration status or nationality don’t matter - reception won’t ask for immigration documents and won’t share your information with the Home Office unless serious crime is involved.
Register as a Temporary Patient
Please contact your registered practice as they may be able to help you over the phone or send medications to one of the local pharmacies. You can also call 111 who can direct you to alternative medical services. 111 are also able to book an appointment with the surgery. Please try these services first.
If you are ill while away from home or if you are not registered with a doctor but need to see one you can receive emergency treatment from the local GP practice for 14 days by registering as a temporary patient. Forms for this can be collected from our reception team. After 14 days you will be deducted from our practice.
Under certain circumstances, 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. Practices do not have to accept you as a temporary patient although they do have an obligation to offer emergency treatment.
Disabled Access
All disabled and partially sighted patients should access the Princes Risborough Surgery through the rear entrance to avoid any steps.
If you require any assistance in accessing the building or its services, please telephone reception from outside on your arrival or press the bell we have situated by the check in screen in the top waiting area.
When booking an appointment, please inform the receptionist that you will require a room with disabled access so that the right room can be allocated to you.
Carers
Please make us aware upon registration if you are a carer. A carer is someone who, unpaid, looks after someone due to disability or illness, poor mental health, fraility or addiction. For information on local services and help on offer, please click here.
