Register As A New Patient
Last Updated: Friday, 19 December 2025We are accepting new patient registrations including 'out of area' registrations for patients who live outside of our catchment area.
Check you are within the practice's catchment area:
Each GP practice has a defined catchment area for new patients.
At Brownlow, we allow 'out of area' registrations, so you do not need to be located be located within our catchment area to register with us.
If you like to complete a paper form
Using the online registration process is the easiest way to register and makes the process more efficient for the surgery.
If you, or someone you are helping to register, is unable to use the online method then you can complete a paper form.
The form is linked below. Note that this is a link to a form in PDF format.
The form can also be obtained from our Reception.
When the form is completed please remember to sign it and either post it to the surgery address or deliver it yourself.
Please make sure that all the personal details are filled in clearly - including the details of your previous GP surgery. - as this makes it much easier to identify you on the national system
If you are staying away from home and need medical support

NHS 111 can direct you to the best place if you think you need medical help right now – you can call 111 or use NHS 111 online.
If you are staying temporarily away from your normal UK address or if you are a visitor from outside the UK you can register temporarily with this surgery.
This is to help you if you need medical help with a new or existing condition that cannot wait until you return home.
You will need to be staying at an address that is inside the area marked blue on the map on this page.
This applies to people who are temporarily at an address inside our boundary for between 24 hours and 3 months.
You will need to call the surgery to register as a temporary resident.
Support from your usual GP
Remember that you can often get support over the telephone from your usual GP surgery. If you live in England and you are staying temporarily in another part of England, your usual GP can send prescriptions electronically to a pharmacist in this area.
