New Patients
New Registrations
We regret to inform you that, we will be undertaking a temporary list suspension. This means that we will not be registering new patients at our practice.
This decision has been taken due to the unprecedented demand for new registrations. The Partners have agreed that continuing to register new patients could potentially jeopardise our ability to provide safe care to those patients already registered at the practice.
We will continue to register:
- newborn or adopted babies of parents already registered at the Practice who are still living within our boundary.
- first degree relatives of patients already registered at the Practice who are living at the same address as registered patients and are still living within our boundary.
For assistance with finding a GP Surgery in Sussex to register with, please contact the NHS Sussex Allocations Teams on 07425 616194. Or email sxicb.gpallocations@nhs.net stating the full names of everyone who needs to register, and your full address. The team will provide you with the available practice options and arrange for an allocation if necessary.

Temporary Patient Registrations
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. 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 local 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.
Non-English Speakers
These fact sheets have been written to explain the role of UK health services, the National Health Service (NHS), to newly-arrived individuals seeking asylum. They cover issues such as the role of GPs, their function as gatekeepers to the health services, how to register and how to access emergency services.
Special care has been taken to ensure that information is given in clear language, and the content and style has been tested with user groups.
