We are pleased to accept new patients who live in Corsham and surrounding areas onto our practice list (see Practice area)

Does it matter where I live?

Yes, we can only accept patients who live within our practice area. 

If you wish to register with us, please visit the surgery and speak to the reception staff.  You will be asked to complete a standard Registration form (GMS 1) and a New Patient questionnaire.

At the time of registering, please ensure you know the following:

• Full name including previous names
• Date and place of birth
• Last address
• New address and post code
• Last name and address of your previous doctor
• NHS number (if known) – this is different from your National Insurance number!

If at the time of registering you are taking regular medication you will need to have an appointment with a doctor.  If you are not taking regular medication and over 40, you will need to have a new patient check with the Practice Nurse.

New patient questionnaire

We require all new patients to complete a confidential questionnaire about their medical history.  This will help the doctors and nurse at the Porch appreciate your health needs.

You can collect a copy of the questionnaire from reception or download and print it from here (please note there is a different new patient questionnaire for ‘under 6’:
