We are using a new online service called Register with a GP surgery that makes it easy to register with Cruddas Park and Hillsview Surgery.
Just fill in this quick online form to start the process. You do not need proof of address or immigration status, ID or an NHS number.
The service is designed and run by the NHS, so your personal information is safe. It cuts our administrative workload and makes it easier for you to register.

Find Your NHS Number
Sometimes when filling in online forms or speaking with our staff, you may be asked for your NHS number.
This online tool will help you find your number if you do not know it.
Please Note
You do not need to know your NHS number to use NHS services, but it can be useful to have it.
Other ways to get your NHS number
If you cannot get your NHS number online you can:
- find it on any letter from the NHS like a prescription or appointment letter
- call your GP surgery and ask them for your number
Newly Registered?
You may consult any of the doctors and nurses at the surgery, as you are registered with the practice and not an individual partner. You will, however, be allocated a nominal partner on registration but this is for administrative purposes only. We encourage you however to remain with a particular Doctor or Nurse for any ongoing problem, as this helps continuity of care.
Please give the Receptionists full details of any change of name, address or telephone number for you or for any member of your family.
If you move from the practice area (see map) we will have to ask you to register with an alternative practice covering your new residential area.
If you have a significant past medical history you may be requested to have an initial health check with the practice nurses and an appointment time will be arranged for this. This is a good opportunity for us to meet you and find out about any medical problems before your notes arrive from your last practice.
No ID documents? No problem
We are proud to be part of the Doctors of the World Safe Surgeries Network.
Anyone in the UK is entitled to register with a GP surgery and receive primary healthcare free of charge on the NHS. You do NOT need to have formal ID documents or proof of address to register with our surgery.
You have the right to register with us regardless of your immigration status. We will never ask to see immigration documents.
Non-English Speakers

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.

Temporary Patient Registrations
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 contact the surgery and complete and return this form
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.
