Catchment Area

You can visit the NHS website for more information about registering with a GP Practice.

Registration Form
Email the following to us at nhsnwl.allendale@nhs.net
  • Your Signature (can be digital – scan/photo of your handwritten signature) to confirm you wish to register with the practice (this is a current NHS England requirement)
  • Two forms of Acceptable ID (if not possible, please let us know)
    • We will not store these documents and we will securely delete/destroy them after our initial verification
  • OPTIONAL: Photo of your face to add to your records to help us identify you (if you agree)

Acceptable Identification: Photo Driving License, Passport, Tenancy agreement, Mortgage statement, Bank statement, Utility bill (date within the past 3 months) etc.

For children under 16 years of age, parents/ guardians should aim to provide a copy of Birth certificate and Immunisation record (in English).

Download both the NHSApp & Airmid apps (if have device)
  • Use the NHSApp first to create your NHSLogin (it may require you to upload a copy of your Photo ID). It can help if you have your NHS number to hand.
  • You can use the same NHSLogin to access the Airmid app, which is linked to our practice’s healthcare IT system (called SystmOne). The Airmid app has some functionality  not  currently in the NHSApp (e.g. video consultations) and vice versa is true too, which is why we recommend you download both Apps.
  • If you want full online access to your records, you can request this via the Airmid app.  Please select “Organisations” and then click on “Cloister Road Surgery”. Next to “Full Clinical Record”, you can click on “Request access”. We will then receive your request and start to process it. For children, there are restrictions and you need to discuss it further with us.

Both these apps will enhance your digital experience as a patient at this practice.

Await confirmation that you have been registered

We aim to register you as quickly as possible and within 5 working days. If you have given us a UK mobile phone number, we will send you a text message to confirm you have been registered. If you do not receive such a message, you can email us at ealccg.allendale@nhs.net for an update.

Once registered, you can seek help/advice via an online consultation which you can access through the NHSApp.

For Guidance on overseas visitors please please visit GOV.UK for further information.

If you are not registered with a doctor but need to see one, you can receive emergency treatment for 14 days. After 14 days you will need to register as a temporary or permanent patient.

To register as a temporary resident you will need to complete a Temporary Resident Form. Please return the completed form to the surgery.

You can register as a temporary resident with a GP in England if you are in the area for longer than 24 hours but less than three months.
