How to register as a new patient online
We are using a new online service called Register with a GP Surgery. That makes it easy to register with Woodview Medical.
Scan the QR code or follow this link.
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.
(Paper forms are still available if you need one)

Change of address
If you are moving, please let us know as soon as possible. If you’re relocating outside the surgery’s catchment area, you may need to register with a surgery closer to your new home.
To update your address, telephone number, or email, we highly recommend using the Airmid or NHS apps for a quick and easy process. [Click here to download the Airmid app and NHS app].

Registering as a temporary patient
You can register as a temporary resident with a GP surgery for up to 3 months. This can be helpful if you're living away from home but do not want to change your home GP surgery.
To register you'll need to fill out a temporary services form (GMS3), available from the surgery with your proof of address and photo of ID to complete paper registration form as part of our registration procedure.
After 3 months, you'll have to reapply to register as a temporary resident or become a permanent patient.
You may also be able to register as a temporary resident if you are visiting from abroad.
Registering online as a non-English speaker
You can find guidance and advice on how to become a new patient if you’re first language is not English, or if you’re an asylum seeker. You can find out more information about the NHS and how to register and access emergency services on the NHS website.
Go to the NHS website.
Accessing someone else’s information
As a parent, family member or carer, you may be able to access services for someone else. We call this having proxy access. We can set this up for you.
To requests proxy access, please collect a proxy access form from reception from 8am to 6:30pm.
Linked profiles in your NHS account
Once proxy access is set up, you can access the other person’s profile in your NHS account, using the NHS App or website.
The NHS website has information about using linked profiles to access services for someone else.
Accountable GP
From 1st April 2015, practices are required to allocate all patients (including children) with a named accountable GP.
The named GP is responsible for the coordination and delivery of all appropriate services, where required based on clinical judgement, to each of their patients.
- Patients do not need to see their named GP when they book an appointment with the practice.
- Patients are entitled to choose to see any GP or nurse in the practice.
