Practice Plus FAQs

Please accept our apologies. If you call 0300 130 3333 or email enquiries@practiceplus.co.uk we will help you.

Whether you register online, over the phone or in person at a Practice Plus surgery, you’ll be asked to show some photo ID at your first face-to-face appointment with us. If you don’t have any of the approved forms of photo ID, please call 0300 130 3333 or email enquiries@practiceplus.co.uk.

Yes you can. You are very welcome at Practice Plus. We understand some patients have complex needs and Practice Plus is fully designed to support you. Indeed, we offer the entire spectrum of general practice primary care, ranging from pre-natal to end of life care.

The NHS in England is a residence-based system. If you are visiting the UK on a temporary basis either from within or outside the European Union or Switzerland then you cannot register with Practice Plus and you may have to pay for NHS healthcare, dependent on your circumstances.
If you have moved to the UK and hold a resident permit then you can register with Practice Plus. However we might ask you to bring your passport or resident permit to your first appointment to confirm that you are entitled to receive NHS treatment.
If you’re unsure whether or not you qualify to register with Practice Plus please contact us on 0300 130 3333 or email registrations@practiceplus.co.uk. Alternatively you can visit https://www.nhs.uk/using-the-nhs/nhs-services/visiting-or-moving-to-england for more information.

Yes. Practice Plus is here for all NHS patients. However you have to live within our practice catchment area to register with us. Visit www.practiceplus.co.uk/our-locations to find out more.

Everyone is welcome as a Practice Plus patient. Over 16s can register online, in person at a Practice Plus surgery or over the phone by calling 0300 130 3333. Children under 16 will not be able to register online. If you have parental responsibility you will need to register your child in the surgery or over the phone. You’ll need to provide a birth or adoption certificate plus ID for the parent/guardian registering your child.

Under 16s are usually requested to have a parent/guardian with them during any consultations. However, our staff have the discretion to allow under 16s be seen without a parent/guardian present, if requested.

Yes. You can simply leave Practice Plus and re-join your old practice, or any other surgery, at any time. Be aware that a small number of practices no longer accept new patients, even if you were registered there previously. But most should be happy for you to re-register.

Yes. You can only be registered with one GP practice at any one time. So registering with us means you are leaving your old practice and joining Practice Plus instead. You are, of course, free to move to another practice at any time.

All NHS patients can use Practice Plus for free as long as you have registered as a patient with us. If you try us and decide you’d rather switch to another GP practice, you can do so at any time.
