New Patient Registration Form – Child – March 2023

What to do if you’re registering on behalf of someone else

If you are a carer of young children, elderly adults or adults who aren’t able to register themselves, you can set up an account on their behalf. This will allow you to book an appointment and access parts of their GP online services account.

Registering as a temporary patient

If you are away from home, you can register as a temporary patient with Tinkers Lane Surgery for up to three months. This will allow you to use our surgery and still remain a patient at your permanent GP surgery. After three months, you will have to re-register as a temporary patient or permanently register with us.
