How to Register
Welcome to Naseby Medical Centre
Please note: We are not currently registering new patients, except for newborns to existing families on our list. This will be reviewed in March 2026.
When registering with the practice we can only accept registration requests from patients who are living within the Practice catchment area indicated on the map below:
How to register as a new patient
You can register by completing a registration form and a health questionnaire available from reception. You can use the online self-registration link below or download the registration form below:
The completed forms plus proof of address and photo ID (recent utility bills, recent bank/financial statements, tenancy agreements, passport or a valid driving licence are acceptable items) is preferred for each adult wishing to register at our surgery.
Please return these forms to the surgery.
Please ask reception about online access
Any new patients already receiving regular medication will need to make an appointment with one of our GPs before any future prescriptions can be issued. All medical treatment is available from the date of your completed registration. Please ensure that you have sufficient supplies of medication from your previous surgery to last you until an appointment has been arranged at this practice.
Temporary patients
If you are ill while away from home or if you are not registered with a doctor but need to see one you can receive emergency treatment from the local GP practice where you are.
You can be registered as a temporary patient for up to three months if needed. This will allow you to be on the local practice list and still remain a patient of your permanent GP. After three months you will have to re-register as a temporary patient or permanently register with that practice.
If you are visiting and wish to see a GP at this practice please contact our reception team on 0121 327 1878 and we will make the necessary arrangements.
If you were registered at this practice and have moved away ie university, college, it is likely that you will have been registered for GP services at your new address. When you return home for holiday periods you may need to complete a Temporary Services Form to register as a temporary patient.
Please see NHS guidance on how to register as a temporary resident with a GP or contact the patient services team via reception for further information.
Information for Transgender Patients
Updating your details
A trans person can change their name and gender marker at their GP practice just by requesting it. They do not need to have been to a Gender Identity Clinic, taken any hormones, undergone any surgery, or have a Gender Recognition Certificate.The law in the UK regarding names is actually very unusual, stating that anyone can call themselves by any first name without any documentation at all – as long as they are known by it, it is a legal name! Despite this, Primary Care Support England (PCSE) recommend that healthcare services see a deed poll before changing a patient’s name on their medical record. For this reason, we will ask for a deed poll when amending your names/details. You can obtain a free Deed Poll online at freedeedpoll.org.uk. Changing your name will not automatically change the gender marker on your medical record, you need to let us know if you also want this to be changed. We make a request to PCSE for this to happen on your behalf.
What happens?
When your gender is changed you will be issued with a new NHS number (which is not reversible) and registered at the practice as a ‘new patient’. All previous medical information will also be transferred to this new medical record. Any information relating to your previous gender identity will not be included in the new record. We will generally use gender neutral language or anonymise details in order to retain any important information. For example, using phrases such as ‘the patient had a smear on….’ rather than ‘she had a smear on…’. This is to protect confidential information and ensure the practice is in line with the Gender Recognition Act 2004 which makes disclosing an individual’s trans history unlawful in many instances.
What should I be aware of?
Changing your gender marker may affect whether you are invited to important medical screening tests that you
still need. During your life the NHS will invite you to a number of screening tests for common conditions. As
the prevalence of these conditions is different for men and women, some tests only invite people who have
“female” on their NHS record, and some tests only invite people who have “male” on their NHS record. This can
mean people who have changed their gender marker can
be invited to the wrong tests for the body parts they
have. When you change your gender marker, you should remember that you may not receive reminders for the tests
you need, and may have to ask for them yourself. In summary;
Trans women and non-binary people assigned male at birth who are registered with a GP as female:
- are invited for breast screening
- are invited for bowel cancer screening
- do not need cervical screening as they do not have a cervix
- are not routinely invited for abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) screening, but
can request screening
Trans women and non-binary people assigned male at birth who are registered with a GP as male:
- are not routinely invited for breast screening, but can request screening
- are invited for bowel cancer screening
- do not need cervical screening as they do not have a cervix
- are invited for abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) screening
Trans men and non-binary people assigned female at birth who are registered with a GP as female:
- are invited for breast screening
- are invited for bowel cancer screening
- are invited for cervical screening
- are not invited for abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) screening
Trans men and non-binary people assigned female at birth who are registered with a GP as male:
- are not routinely invited for breast screening, but can request screening
- are invited for bowel cancer screening
- are not routinely invited for cervical screening, but can request screening
- are invited for abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) screening, but do not have a
high risk of AAA
Should you require reminders for any of the screening tests which are affected by your gender change, please discuss this with us and we will be happy to help by adding diary entries to your record so we can remind you.
Current referrals
If you are already under the care of a specialist department (gender identity clinic or other) we will also have to let them know about the changes to your record and your new NHS number so as not to interrupt your care.
